Carlos Valdovinos was 20 and lived in San Bernardino when he was fatally shot on June 21, 2018. Authorities described the killing as gang-related retaliation: Valdovinos was struck by multiple bullets while standing with friends during a daylight drive-by shooting.

The assailant was identified as Andy Phonsongkham. Prosecutors said the attack was revenge for an earlier assault on a member of Phonsongkham’s gang. Phonsongkham was convicted of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of shooting from a vehicle; he was sentenced to life without parole plus an additional 163 years and four months on related counts including attempted murder and shooting at an occupied residence.

Valdovinos’ death deeply affected his community and family and drew attention to escalating gang violence in the area. If anyone knew Carlos, saw him that day, or has information about the incident, please come forward.
