Ricardo Snaps Sales, a 30-year-old resident of Imperial Beach, California, was found dead on November 14, 2017, near Donax Avenue and Florence Street with multiple gunshot wounds. Firefighters and deputies attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds and the death a homicide.

Investigators arrested 35-year-old Osvaldo Apolo Lopez of Spring Valley in University City several days after the shooting. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing Lopez at the scene. Prosecutors charged Lopez with first-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of the crime; his bail was set at $1 million after an arraignment in Chula Vista in which he pleaded not guilty. At a preliminary hearing the judge ordered the case to trial; court filings disclosed Sales was shot four times in the head and three times in the torso. DNA testing on shell casings and multiple witness interviews were part of the investigation.
