Ivan Solis, 25, of Canyon Country in Santa Clarita was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 11, 2017, at Begonias Lane Park. Deputies responded to a shots fired call about 5 a.m. and found Solis near his bicycle with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:27 a.m. Family and friends described him as trying to overcome addiction and motivated by the birth of his daughter.

Investigators arrested two people in the case: 20-year-old Nicholas Colletta of Saugus and 24-year-old Jacqueline Arreola of Newhall. Colletta was identified as the shooter who challenged Solis about where he was from before firing; both suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. Colletta faced first-degree murder and related gang and weapons allegations; jurors found him guilty on all counts and he received a 60 years to life sentence. Arreola pleaded no contest to being an accessory after the fact, testified against Colletta, and had sentencing set for May 20, 2019.

Did anyone in the Canyon Country or Newhall area see activity near Begonias Lane Park around dawn on July 11, 2017, or have information about the events that night?
