A story for every victim

Johnny Danny Delgado, 16

Johnny Danny Delgado, a 16-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Friday, Jan. 1, in the 23400 block of South Avalon Boulevard in Carson, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records. 

Delgado lived in the condominium complex where the shooting occurred, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Dave Coleman. He was standing in the driveway between the complex’s garages about 8:29 p.m. when he was shot multiple times by two males wearing hoodies, the lieutenant said. 

Investigators have no other suspect descriptions, and no information about where the assailants went after the shooting. Coleman said.

“We’re not getting much help from possible witnesses,” he said. 

Delgado was a gang member, and investigators believe the shooting was gang-related. 

This is the second fatal shooting in three months in the 23000 block of Avalon Boulevard in Carson.

On Oct. 17, a 15-year-old Latino named Adalberto Saucedo III was shot and killed on the sidewalk while he was walking with a friend. In that case, the assailants jumped out of a silver or white four-door vehicle and were described as two black males wearing hoodies. 

Coleman said investigators don’t know if the cases are related. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. Those wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
