Fabian Garcia Barajas, 20, of Pomona, California, was found dead early on April 3, 2018, after his white Infiniti G37 crashed through a security gate outside a warehouse on Valley Boulevard in El Monte. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the back; Barajas was discovered slumped in the driver’s seat and pronounced dead at the scene shortly after midnight.

Investigators say he was shot about a block away at the end of a cul-de-sac on Gilman Road. Witnesses reported a man running from the area — described as a Latino about 25 to 30 years old, wearing a black Dodgers cap, black jacket, and dark pants — who has been labeled a person of interest. No arrests have been made and the suspect remains at large.

Barajas worked as a machine operator and was described by his mother, Eva Barajas, as quiet, obedient, and shy, with interests in cars, motorcycles, and video games. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors authorized a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
