Eloy Gutierrez, a 40-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot in Compton, California, on August 28, 2017. The Los Angeles County coroner recorded his death on August 31, 2017 and classified the case as a homicide.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigated the shooting. Reports say the probe faced challenges from a lack of eyewitnesses and few concrete leads; authorities later announced a reward for information leading to arrests and convictions. The case remained unsolved as of the last documented developments in these records.

Court and arrest records show Gutierrez had prior drug-related arrests, including a 2014 arrest for transporting a controlled substance and child endangerment and a 2006 charge for possession of cocaine base for sale; those matters are not described as connected to his killing.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Eloy, please come forward to investigators.
