Damaso Sanchez Jr., a 45-year-old Latino male, died on Aug. 15, 2021. The Los Angeles Times Homicide Report entry for Sanchez lists his death date, gives his age and race, records the investigating agency as LASD Lakewood and lists the cause of death as "Other." Beyond those basic fields, the Homicide Report provides no narrative details about the circumstances of his death.
Publicly available records and news indexing I was able to locate do not supply additional scene details, witness accounts or an official narrative of how or where Sanchez died. The lone contemporaneous record located for this person is the Homicide Report entry; that entry does not describe the location of the incident, manner of death or any physical evidence, and it does not reproduce a coroner's narrative or investigative summary.
There is no publicly reported information that identifies a suspect, an arrest, an arresting agency narrative, a charging decision or any later court action connected to Sanchez's death in the searches conducted. The Homicide Report archive indicates the dataset includes records through Dec. 29, 2023, and the entry for Sanchez remains limited to the basic coroner/agency fields rather than a fuller police or newsroom account.
Because the only available online record located is the brief Homicide Report entry and no police press release, coroner narrative, local news story or court filing about this death was found, the circumstances and investigative status beyond the listed fields remain unknown publicly.
