Do you know what happened to Christian Gutierrez? A promising young life was cut tragically short on a street in Las Vegas on the night of May 14, 2015. Christian Jesus Gutierrez, a 24-year-old Hispanic male from Oxnard, California, was walking in the 4100 block of East Cheyenne Avenue shortly before 11 p.m. when he was fatally wounded in a shooting.
Police arrived to find Gutierrez on a sidewalk, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the nearby University Medical Center, but the efforts to save him were unsuccessful.
