A California grandfather was gunned down after answering his front door. The beloved husband was murdered right in front of his granddaughter, according to police. After not being able to track down the killer for months, law enforcement is now offering a considerable reward to bring the murderer to justice.
Hector Ascencio Sr. was at his home with his granddaughter around 9 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2023, in the South Gate neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
Ascencio heard a knock at the door while his 10-year-old granddaughter was sitting in the living room nearby, KABC-TV reported. When the 57-year-old grandfather answered the door, he was shot dead by the killer.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department noted that Ascencio’s granddaughter “witnessed” her grandfather’s murder.
The murder suspect immediately fled the crime scene, allegedly speeding off in a dark-colored 4-door vehicle. It is unknown whether there were any other people in the vehicle.
Law enforcement has yet to track down Ascencio’s killer after months on the hunt.
Investigators do not have a motive for the senseless murder.
Hector’s family said the grandfather didn’t have any enemies and they are still shocked by the murder.
