Francisco Rafael Montes, 28, of Gardena, California, was shot to death after an evening at a trailer park in Gardena on July 31, 2018. Reports say the gathering included several people, among them the shooter and the shooter’s wife. The shooter opened fire at the party, killing Dolores Sanchez and wounding three others, including a pregnant woman.

After the initial shooting Montes and the shooter’s wife were apparently forced to drive the shooter away. Officers say the shooter ordered Montes to pull over on the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard onramp to the southbound 710 Freeway in Lynwood, where Montes was fatally shot. The shooter also tried to kill his wife, but her gun jammed and she survived. Montes’ body was left at the scene and the shooter fled in the vehicle.

Does anyone have information about Montes, the Gardena trailer park gathering that night, or the events on the MLK Jr. Boulevard onramp?
