An online fundraiser has been created to support the family of a Camarillo man who was killed on Stearns Wharf last month.
Robert Dion Gutierrez, 52 of Camarillo, was on Stearns Wharf on the evening of December 9, 2022 when he sustained a single gunshot wound. According to the Santa Barbara Police Department, he was an innocent bystander when the shooting occurred.
Emergency responders rendered aid and transported him to the hospital where he ultimately succumbed to the injury on December 20, 2022.
The fundriaser describes Gutierrez as a loving and devoted husband and father who was funny, charming, and radiated warmth.
“This tragedy has come as a shock to all of us, and the grief and sorrow from the loss of Robert is incomprehensible for the Gutierrez family. While we may not be able to take away their emotional pain, we would like to take away some of their financial burden and stress at this time,” the fundraiser page stated.
The page has raised over $34,000 as of Friday. Donations can be made here.
