Salvador Corrales, 24, of South Gate was found dead in a Long Beach parking lot on July 26, 2018. Police tied the killing to a shots-fired call in the 6700 block of Cherry Avenue at about 9:05 p.m.; officers found evidence of a shooting there but no victim, and it was later determined Corrales had been shot roughly nine miles from where his body was recovered.

Investigators charged 24-year-old Steven Manzo of Hawaiian Gardens with Corrales’ murder. Manzo was mistakenly released from custody on March 9, 2021 after a court order dismissed the case, but the same charges were immediately refiled under a new case number and he was ordered held pending arraignment. A manhunt followed and Manzo was later apprehended during a traffic stop in North Orange County; he was booked on the case with bail set at $4.09 million.

Corrales’ family has spoken of their heartbreak and frustration as the legal process moves forward. Does anyone have information about Corrales’ movements in Long Beach on the night of July 26, 2018?
