Kryshtian Avila, 29, was found fatally shot in his vehicle on January 30, 2018, in the 11800 block of Autumn Street in Fontana, California. He is described as a beloved father, son, and brother; investigators determined the shooting was gang-related and tied to an old grudge after several weeks of detective work that followed numerous leads.

In early March 2018 authorities arrested four men in connection with the case. Antonio Ruiz, 27, was arrested March 2 and charged with murder and gang enhancements; he pleaded not guilty to those charges. On March 1, Ronny Buzenes, 27, of Fontana, Rolando Delgado, 36, of Rialto, and Manuel Ibarra, 25, of Mira Loma, were arrested on suspicion of being accessories to murder for allegedly covering up the crime and disposing of evidence. Delgado was bailed out and not charged, while Buzenes and Ibarra faced accessory and gang-related charges.

Detective Dave Janusz urged anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew Kryshtian or has information about the shooting or those involved, please share what is known.
