Julio Rodriguez, 33, was shot and killed outside a bar on Victory Boulevard in Van Nuys on September 10, 2017. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list Rodriguez as pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds. His companion was also shot, treated at a hospital, and later released.

Investigators identified Marco Antonio Garcia, a federal prison employee, as the person who approached Rodriguez and his companion with another man, produced a handgun and fired multiple rounds. Garcia fled to Mexico after the shooting; he was later captured there, extradited to the United States, and charged with murder, held at the Valley Jail in Van Nuys with bail set at $5 million. Reports say a motive could not be established and there was no known prior connection between Garcia and Rodriguez.

Does anyone who knew Julio or who was in that area on September 10, 2017 have information that could fill gaps about what happened that night?
