Man bringing food to girlfriend killed in Wilmington
A 41-year-old man was shot today in Wilmington while delivering food to his girlfriend.
Jose Augusto Caceros, 41, was walking up the steps of his sweetheart's
home in the 400 block of North Gulf Avenue about 1:15 a.m. when a man with a
gun confronted and shot him, police said.
Then the gunman ran off, leaving a mortally-wounded Caceros at his
girlfriend's doorstep. No suspect description was available, said Los Angeles
police Officer Cleon Joseph of the Media Relations Section.
Caceros was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police sought the public's help in finding the gunman and asked anyone with
information to call LAPD Homicide Detectives David Alvarez or David Cortez at
(310) 726-7881.
