Jose Escobedo Ortega, 20, was shot and killed in Pittsburg’s City Park on September 24, 2017, around 7 p.m. He was hanging out and listening to music when the shooting occurred. Officers from the Pittsburg Police Department arrived within 90 seconds of the call and attempted lifesaving measures, but Escobedo Ortega died at the scene.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Juan Muñoz as the shooter through witness statements and surveillance footage. Muñoz was arrested within three days, and an unnamed juvenile was also taken into custody. Search warrants executed at residences linked to Muñoz produced a firearm believed to be the murder weapon. The motive cited in the investigation was an ongoing personal feud between Muñoz and Escobedo Ortega; police said the killing was not gang-related.

If anyone was in or around City Park that evening or has information about the feud or the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
