Bryan Luque, 23, of Modesto was shot and killed on November 11, 2022 after an altercation at a strip mall at 1501 Coffee Road. Reports say Luque was in his vehicle attempting to flee when he was chased and shot. His mother, Candace Jackson, described Bryan as a loving son, brother, and uncle and has been attending court hearings on his behalf.

Modesto police arrested 27-year-old Lance Reyes in the immediate aftermath, but he was released a few days later after the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office said it would not file charges at that time for lack of sufficient evidence. On November 15, 2022 police arrested 34-year-old Armando Justin Garcia on suspicion of murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and shooting at an inhabited vehicle. Garcia’s wife, 32-year-old Bianca Rose Reyes, was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact and destroying evidence; she was taken into custody in Modesto while Garcia was arrested in Escalon.

The DA’s office says the investigation is ongoing. The family has sought community support, including a fundraiser organized by Jackson. Does anyone have information about the events in the strip mall parking lot or the vehicles involved?
