Los Angeles: A gang-related shooting claimed the life of a 22-year-old man this morning at his home in Pacoima.
At around 2 a.m., Foothill Area officers responded to calls about a possible shooting in the 12500 block of Correnti Street. Upon arrival the officers found Abraham Guerrero lying in the street suffering from a gunshot wound.
Based on preliminary information, detectives believe that Guerrero had been standing in front of his residence talking to a group of friends when an unidentified white vehicle approached in a westerly direction. It is believed that Guerrero and his friends exchanged words with one or more occupants in the white car. An occupant of the car produced a handgun and fired several shots, striking Guerrero in the stomach. The suspects were last seen driving from the scene in the white vehicle. Paramedics pronounced Guerrero dead at scene.
There is no clear motive for the shooting. Guerrero had no apparent gang affiliation, but detectives suspect that the suspects in the white car are gang members.
Anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or may have information regarding it, is asked to contact Foothill Homicide Detectives Joshua Byers and Efren Gutierrez at 818-834-3115. After hours or on weekends, calls may be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 or by texting CRIMES (274637) and beginning the message with the letters LAPD. Tipsters may also submit information on the LAPD website, www.lapdonline.org. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
I am Abraham's aunt and want to thank you for the work you are doing in finding his killer(s). I also appreciate the fact that you indicated that Abraham had no apparent gang affiliation, because he was a fine young man.
In his yough, he was a member of the Explorers with his brother and his goal was to be in law enforcement one day.

If anyone has any information, please report it. Abraham was a good citizen who was loved by all. He was a security guard and lived his life helping others. In High School he was in ROTC and he was also an explorer with the LAPD.
He hung out with childhood friends who are currently serving this country. The night of the shooting Abraham was standing next to one of his childhood friends who was home on leave from the Marine Corps.
Please do not dismiss this and if you or anyone you know has any information about this shooting, please report it.
In loving memory of Abraham.

Abraham's Killers will be caught. Someone will talk about this senseless killing. I was in ROTC like Abraham and the explorers. Abraham will be missed. Abraham God is with you and so are your Angels. You will never be forgotten and you murderers will pay for their actions all of them.

Abraham's funeral was held yesterday, January 6, 2009. I'm grateful to everyone who attended on his behalf.
It was a very touching ceremony and the lined walkway with the LAPD on one side and the Explorers on the other saluting Abraham's grave was a wonderul tribute to his services and his hopes of becoming LAPD.
This was a young man whose life was ahead of him and was truly an innocent victim.
On behalf of the whole family, thanks to everyone who has shown their kindness and love for Abraham.
