Armando Mando Sibaja Corpuz, 34, was shot and killed on April 15, 2022, while hosting a backyard cookout outside his home on 8th Street in Soledad, California. Four gunmen approached the gathering and opened fire; Armando and a friend, Raul Arias, were fatally shot and Armando’s brother Anthony was injured but survived. Investigators recovered more than 40 shell casings at the scene and described the attack as a seemingly random act of violence, noting none of the victims had gang affiliations.

The Soledad Police Department has reviewed surveillance footage and followed up on tips, but no arrests have been announced and the suspects remain unidentified. Armando’s family and the community remember him as active in local nonprofits and a person with big plans for the future. If anyone was at the cookout or has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with the investigation?
