Joseph Coronado, 22, was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the night of January 5, 2020, in the 200 block of Marquita Street in Oxnard’s La Colonia neighborhood. The shooting was reported about 9:40 p.m.; Coronado, known to family and friends as Joe D, was taken to Ventura County Medical Center and underwent surgery but later died of his injuries.

The Oxnard Police Department opened an investigation and canvassed the area for witnesses. The Major Crimes Unit later classified the homicide as gang-related, but no suspects had been identified and the motive remained unclear. Authorities appealed to the public for information to help solve the case.

If anyone in Oxnard that night saw anything on or near Marquita Street or has information about Joseph or the shooting, please come forward to the investigators handling the case.
