Raymond Angel Luna Martinez, a 20-year-old from Lancaster, California, was fatally shot during an apparent robbery at the Fastrip store at the intersection of Highways 58 and 14 in Mojave on August 27, 2017. He was one of two people shot; the other victim suffered moderate to major injuries. Martinez died at the scene.

Two suspects were taken into custody after the shooting: Dante Strong, 20, and Blu Tuch, 21. Authorities reported Strong was the person who fired the shots. Both were initially charged in connection with the robbery and shooting.

As the case moved through the courts, Strong was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and attempted voluntary manslaughter and received a 14-year prison sentence. Charges against Blu Tuch were dismissed in May 2019.

Did anyone who knew Raymond or witnessed the Fastrip shooting come forward with information that might shed more light on what happened that night?
