Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds at about 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Oregon Street and Miller Street; medical responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Initial reporting said no suspect information was available and investigators asked the public for leads.

Later reporting described the shooting as gang-related and identified Bustamante as a documented member of the Varrio Bakers gang.

That man fled the scene after Bustamante was shot multiple times and killed.
