David Becerra was 17 and a resident of Hesperia, California, when he died from gunshot wounds on the evening of September 23, 2019. Deputies had responded earlier to reports of gunfire in the 16200 block of Sultana Street and found several fired cartridge casings in the roadway. Around 7:44 p.m., authorities were notified that a gunshot victim had been dropped off at a local hospital; David Becerra was pronounced dead about 8:00 p.m. despite life-saving efforts.

Homicide detectives linked the casings found at the Sultana Street scene to the shooting that led to Becerra’s fatal injuries and opened an investigation to determine what happened and who was involved. No arrests have been announced and the Specialized Investigations Division has asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew David, saw activity in the 16200 block of Sultana Street that evening, or has other information, please share what is known with investigators.
