Allen Gomez, 26
Allen Gomez, an 26-year-old Latino, died Thursday, Sept. 29, after he was shot days earlier in the 1100 block of East 22nd Street in Historic South-Central, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.
On Sept. 27 shortly before 9:30 p.m., Gomez was shot “most likely by a rival gang,” said Los Angeles Police Det. Dan Gersna.
