Another witness said she saw the two men arguing when Gutierrez aimed his gun at the victim. The witness said the victim ran toward a parking lot and, minutes later, saw Gutierrez pull up and shoot the victim three times from the driver's seat of his car. Gutierrez then drove off, per the complaint.
Part of the incident was captured on doorbell surveillance video. It showed the victim and Gutierrez arguing just after 1 p.m. that day. When one of the witnesses tried to split the two men up, the complaint states, the video showed Gutierrez appear to point a gun at the victim – who then left the area as Gutierrez continued "yelling" with a gun in his hand.
In addition to homicide, Gutierrez is charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. He made an initial court appearance on July 1, and his cash bond was set at $100,000. He is due back in court on July 11.
