On September 10, 2015, Gunther Muth, aged 32, was killed in a shooting incident in Long Beach, California. His body was discovered on September 13, 2015, on the 300 block of E. 67th Street, where Long Beach police and fire department personnel responded. Muth was found deceased, having suffered fatal injuries caused by gunfire.
Long Beach Police launched an investigation that eventually led to the arrest of two suspects, Michael Coronado and David Rios, in late September 2015. Both individuals were charged with murder, and Coronado also faced charges related to an attempted murder in an unrelated case that occurred earlier that month. Detectives suspect that the incident may have been gang-related, but the exact motive for the shooting remains under investigation. Both suspects were held on substantial bail amounts—$4 million for Coronado and $2 million for Rios—while the investigation continued.
The Long Beach Police Department has urged anyone with further information about the incident to come forward to help close the case, which they have been investigating as part of broader efforts to tackle violence in the city and bring justice to the victims and their families.
