Rolando Soto, 38, of Fresno was shot multiple times and killed on December 16, 2018, in the street near North Harvard and East Samoa in Lindsay, California. His car was later found running in front of his family’s home; it is unclear who drove it there. Surveillance footage showed the suspected assailant’s vehicle leaving the scene, and investigators believe Gustavo Garcia committed Soto’s murder as part of a violent rampage through Tulare County that began after Garcia stole three boxes of 9mm ammunition from an unlocked cabinet at a Walmart in Tulare.

The rampage reportedly included shootings and robberies in Exeter and elsewhere, and ended the next day with another fatal shooting and a confrontation with law enforcement in which the suspect died. Soto was a husband and father of three; his family later sued Walmart, alleging the store failed to secure ammunition as required by state law and that this contributed to the deadly spree. If anyone knew Rolando, his routine, or saw activity near North Harvard and East Samoa on December 16, 2018, please share what you remember.
