Carlos Vicente Gomez was 21 and lived in Lamont, California when he was shot dead on July 6, 2018. That evening he and another man, Simon Prieto, were seated in a red two-door coupe in front of a market at Paradise Road and Waco Avenue when at least two people in a black SUV opened fire. The SUV then fled westbound on Paradise Road.

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation; no arrests have been announced and the suspects’ identities remain unknown. The families of both victims have publicly urged anyone with information to step forward.

Does anyone who lived in Lamont or was near Paradise Road and Waco Avenue on the night of July 6, 2018 have information that could help the investigation?
