Fernando Rodriguez, 46, of Long Beach, was shot in the early morning hours of September 17, 2018 on the 1400 block of Long Beach Boulevard. Officers found him with gunshot wounds to his upper body; he was taken to a hospital and died two days later. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the neck.

Investigators determined the shooting grew out of a dispute over ownership of a bicycle that escalated into the fatal confrontation. Detectives arrested 21-year-old Junior Alexander Munguia on November 29, 2018 near 17th Street and Henderson; he was booked at the Long Beach City Jail with bail set at $2,000,000. Munguia was initially charged with murder and later entered a plea that changed the charges.

Anyone who knew Fernando or who has information about the case is asked to come forward.
