(L.A.) Christopher Gutierrez, 22, Accidentally Shot Himself

Case Number: 2023-03014

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 22-year-old Hispanic male that occurred in a hotel/motel.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Christopher Gutierrez.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Gunshot Wound of Chest

RIP CHRISTOPHER GUTIERREZ (November 5, 2000 – March 18, 2023)

This guy robbed someone of their gun and took it back to his hotel room where he began cleaning it. That’s when the gun went off. Hit him in the chest and died.

I wonder if the person he robbed knows their gun killed him.
