Felix Ivan Antonio, a 19-year-old resident of Santa Maria, California, was found fatally shot inside his vehicle in the 200 block of West Newlove Drive on the morning of August 14, 2022. Officers who responded to reports of shots fired pronounced him dead at the scene. Initial investigation produced few details and no immediate arrests.

On February 2, 2023, Santa Maria police arrested 23-year-old Samuel Reyes Espinoza, also of Santa Maria, on suspicion of murder in connection with Felix’s death; a gang enhancement was added and bail was set at $4 million. Authorities said Felix did not appear to have any gang affiliations and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember activity on West Newlove Drive that morning or who can add details about Felix’s last movements?
