A story for every victim

Guillermo Valencia, 40 [Updated]

Guillermo Valencia, a 40-year-old Latino man, was found unconscious in an alley in the 4700 block of Whittier Boulevard about 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12.

He died in a hospital two days later of trauma to his head, said homicide Det. Tim Cain of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Cain said the area where Valencia was found is a busy shopping district. He has few leads on the case and is asking for the public's help in finding the assailant.

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (323) 890-5500.

[Updated Jan. 22, 2010: Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office, said Valencia's death has been listed as undetermined. Winter said his death has not been officially ruled a homicide because investigators do not know if his head injury was accidental or inflicted by someone else.]
