Michael Alexis Gudiel, 24, was shot and killed in a drive-by attack in the early morning of June 21, 2009 while walking home alone in Avocado Heights. Deputies found him lying in the street in front of 13916 Proctor Avenue around 3:15 a.m.; he died shortly after from his wounds. The shooting was reported as gang-related, and Gudiel’s sister told media the family believed he had no gang ties.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation but the case remains unsolved with no significant arrests or publicly identified suspects. The family and community have pushed for more police presence and programs to address local gang violence, and investigators continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Michael, saw activity near Proctor Avenue that night, or has tips that could help, please share what you know with investigators.
