Angel Maravilla, a 22-year-old resident of San Diego, was shot and killed on November 12, 2020, in the Gaslamp Quarter near Fifth Avenue and E Street.

Velazquez fled the scene while Maravilla’s companion chased him. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses identified Velazquez, who was arrested three days later and initially charged with murder. Court filings noted Velazquez was already wanted on a no-bail warrant for absconding from post-release community supervision in central California.

Velazquez later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter with a gun-use allegation and received a 25-year prison sentence. The case remained a sharp reminder of the toll of gun violence on families and the downtown San Diego community.

If anyone knew Angel or has information about the events that evening, please share what you know.
