Joel Bishop, 45, was shot and killed in Oceanside, California, on February 24, 2017. He was found with a gunshot wound on South Myers Street near Buccaneer Park at about 4:45 a.m. and died at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla less than an hour later. His family had been grieving his mother, Melba Bishop, a former Oceanside City Councilmember, who had died two years earlier after a battle with cancer.

Two men, Hector Galvez, 32, and Jamie Radloff, 29, were arrested in Hemet later the same day; Galvez was shot and wounded by a Hemet police officer during the arrest. Both were charged with murder, and Galvez faced an additional felon-in-possession charge. Police said the suspects and Bishop knew each other but declined to disclose the exact nature of that relationship and said gang activity was not a factor.

The murder trial for Galvez and Radloff began with jury selection in March 2019; both defendants remained in custody with bail set at $5 million each. Does anyone have information about Bishop’s last known movements or who might have been with him that morning?
