Jose Torres, 25, was found shot to death in the early hours of March 8, 2024, on a quiet stretch near Reseda Boulevard and Winford Drive in Tarzana, just outside a gated neighborhood by the Braemar Country Club. A security guard discovered him in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; LAPD West Valley officers responded around 12:30 a.m. and the county medical examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Reports include a timing discrepancy: an LAPD case listing places the incident at the 3500 block of Reseda Boulevard at 9:00 p.m., a detail that appeared in early coverage while detectives canvassed the upscale area and a nearby hiking trail for surveillance video and witnesses. Authorities publicly confirmed an arrest was made, and the victim’s family says the suspect is Oscar Guerrero, 44, of Reseda, whom they say Torres knew; the family also reports an intention to plead guilty and a sentencing date.

If anyone saw activity in the Reseda Boulevard and Winford Drive area on March 8, 2024, or has footage from nearby homes or the hiking trail, please share what might help investigators.
