Frank Howard Fuentes, a 34-year-old Latino man, was shot and killed on January 21, 2022, near 4142 East Avenue Q-14 in Palmdale, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner pronounced Fuentes dead at the scene.

Investigators say Fuentes drove past his ex-girlfriend’s house, saw a man later identified as 35-year-old Rudy Rodriguez Jr. parked in the driveway, and approached him. A confrontation turned physical and witnesses report Rodriguez produced a handgun and fired multiple shots. Rodriguez fled in a 2009 Honda Accord; the abandoned car was recovered a few miles from the scene but Rodriguez remained at large.

Images of Rodriguez were released and authorities described him as armed and dangerous as they continued to seek information. If anyone knew Fuentes or saw the incident or the vehicle that evening, can you share what you know?
