A 77-year-old man, Omar Wynter, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a residence on the 11600 block of Telegraph Road in Santa Fe Springs the evening of February 27, 2026. Whittier Police responded to reports of shots fired at about 5:30 p.m.; Wynter was pronounced dead at the scene.

Also inside the home was a juvenile who had sustained stab wounds and was taken to a local hospital. Authorities took a 16-year-old male, described as the victim’s grandson, into custody in connection with the fatal shooting. Investigators have characterized the event as an isolated family dispute and say they are not seeking other suspects.

Officials have not released the arrested youth’s name, the exact charges, or the hospitalized juvenile’s condition and relationship to the family. Does anyone in the community have information about the family or what might have led to this disturbance?
