Albert Salazar, 24, was shot on July 19, 2017, along the 1300 block of West Guava Street in Oxnard and later died at Ventura County Medical Center after being taken there from Oxnard police headquarters. His death was reported as the city’s 11th homicide that year. Early investigative notes said no clear motive had been established and that gang-related activity had not been ruled out.

Oxnard detectives identified 27-year-old Jonathan Zambrano as the suspected shooter, obtained an arrest warrant, and took him into custody on July 22, 2017. He was arrested in a vehicle with a female driver who was also detained on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance; Zambrano was on parole and held without bail because of that status. Court records say both men had been standing outside a house on West Guava Street the night of the shooting when Zambrano pulled out a gun and shot Salazar.

The Oxnard Police Department offered a reward for information during the investigation. Does anyone have information about Salazar’s last known whereabouts or the events that night on West Guava Street?
