Jose Pablo Flores Martinez, 23, of Stockton, California, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest inside his parked car near Sierra Nevada Street and Poplar Street on May 22, 2019. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died from his injuries. The Stockton Police Department is investigating the death as a homicide.

Jose’s family has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible. Investigators report few leads and limited cooperation from potential witnesses; the location where he was found is described as a high-crime area, which family and police say has complicated the inquiry. No arrests or significant breakthroughs have been announced.

Jose is remembered by his family as a kind, hardworking person. Anyone with information about what happened is urged to contact the Stockton Police Department.
