Christian David Silva, a 28-year-old tattoo artist from La Habra, was fatally shot while driving in Artesia in the early hours of February 22, 2020. He had been at a friend’s home the evening before and was driving home alone shortly after midnight when an unknown assailant fired into his vehicle near 167th Street and Clarkdale Avenue. The gunshot struck Silva in the head, his car collided with a fence, and he died at a hospital the next afternoon at 2:22 p.m. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators say Silva was not involved in gang activity but suspect he may have been mistaken for someone else by gang members. No description of the shooter has been released, and there have been no arrests or publicly identified suspects. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau is asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers; anonymity is available.

Does anyone who was in the Artesia area around 167th Street and Clarkdale Avenue that night have details that could help the investigation?
