Gilbert B. Wah Sr., 39, was fatally shot at his home on Camino Los Banos in San Jacinto, California, on July 23, 2020. The shooting happened about 3:30 a.m. during a confrontation between Wah and a 38-year-old acquaintance, Melvin Mario James Landry. Wah was struck in the upper body and pronounced dead at the scene after relatives and paramedics tried to help.

Law enforcement quickly identified Landry as the primary suspect. Before officers could begin a search, Landry returned to the scene and surrendered to deputies; he was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder. The immediate motive remained unclear, and reports did not state how Wah and Landry were connected beyond being acquaintances.

If anyone knew Gilbert, his routines, or the circumstances that led to that early-morning confrontation, please share information with investigators.
