Rey David Cruz was 18 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in the Southwinds neighborhood of Oxnard on December 8, 2019. Officers were flagged down after hearing gunfire and found Cruz lying in an alley on Perkins Road near West Clara Street; he died at the scene. The Ventura County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds to the head.

Police described the attack as a drive-by, with suspects in a passing vehicle who fired several times before fleeing. The shooting was investigated as gang-related; Cruz was described as familiar with the neighborhood and having family ties there. The case was unsolved with no arrests or publicly identified suspects, and investigators urged anyone with information or media to come forward, including anonymous tips.

Does anyone have information, footage, or observations from Southwinds on the morning of December 8, 2019, that could help investigators?
