Fabian Zuniga, 22, of Arvin, California, was fatally shot once in the chest on April 15, 2018, in the 700 block of Monroe Street. The bullet passed through his heart; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The shooting happened in a residential area and, according to court records, followed a confrontation between Zuniga and another man.

Investigators identified 25-year-old Francisco Banos, a man with known gang affiliations, as the primary suspect. Banos’ daughter reportedly witnessed the aftermath while playing in the backyard, and Banos was seen cleaning blood from a concrete fence. Authorities located Banos at a hotel in Castaic and apprehended him after a brief standoff with a SWAT team. He was charged with voluntary manslaughter and related offenses and later entered a no contest plea, receiving a 13-year prison sentence.
