On November 26, 2021, 28-year-old Leonel Rodriguez was found outside an apartment complex on 6th Street in San Joaquin, California. Deputies from the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about an injured person around 1:00 PM and discovered Rodriguez had been shot multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene and investigators immediately opened a homicide inquiry.

Police said the motive remained unclear. Early reports suggested the shooting might be gang-related, but no evidence supporting that theory was provided and no suspects or arrests were identified in the immediate aftermath. Authorities located Rodriguez’s family in the Los Angeles area and notified them of his death. The Sheriff’s Office has asked the public for any information that could help identify a suspect or establish a motive.

Does anyone have information about Leonel Rodriguez, his activities in San Joaquin that week, or witnesses who saw anything near the 6th Street apartments on November 26, 2021?
