Matthew Perez, 24
Died June 24, 2007 at 10:02 p.m.
Matthew Perez, 24, a Latino man, was stabbed to death at 6631 Ferguson Drive in East Los Angeles. He died at 10:02 p.m. Sunday, June 24.
His aunt, Letty Ainsworth, said that Perez had just graduated from computer school and wanted to become a graphic artist. As a youngster he had gotten into some trouble and had been assigned community service which led to a stint with the Salvation Army.
He didn't quit after his term was fulfilled. He continued working for the Salvation Army of his own volition until his death, as well as with soup kitchens affiliated with his Catholic church, she said. She said he was walking and was attacked, perhaps by a group.

Its sad to see that when a person finally changes for the better something like this happens and it could have been due to his past, not that I'm suggeting anything, I didnt know him. My prayers go to him because for a young hispanic its not always easy to change from your past...
