Charles Gonzalez, 51, of Westlake Village, California, was shot and killed at his apartment on Green Avenue on February 7, 2011. Coroner’s records say he was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the doorway of his residence at about 5:15 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial coroner’s paperwork misidentified him as an unknown 41-year-old male; that was later corrected.

According to reports, Gonzalez was cooking breakfast when someone knocked at his door. He opened the door and was shot by an unknown assailant. Another resident who was present did not see the shooting or the shooter, and no clear motive has been reported. Detectives from the Rampart Area Homicide unit, including Detective John Motto and Julian Pere, investigated and asked the public for information, with Crime Stoppers anonymity offered.

No arrests or significant breakthroughs have been reported, and the case remains unresolved. If anyone knew Gonzalez, saw activity near Green Avenue that morning, or has information that could help, please contact the LAPD or Crime Stoppers.
