Omar Solano, 25, was shot and killed on November 22, 2016, in the 9800 block of Giovane Street in El Monte, California. He was walking toward his parked car at about 8:53 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9 a.m. Witnesses said a male passenger exited a light gray car and shot Solano three times at close range before the vehicle fled. The shooter was described as a Latino male in his early 20s, wearing a white shirt and baggy blue jeans.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau led the investigation with assistance from El Monte police detectives. The motive remained unclear and, despite witness accounts and a suspect description, no arrests had been announced. Solano was a husband and a father to a two-month-old daughter; a fundraising page was set up to help the family with burial expenses. Is there anyone who remembers seeing a light gray car in that neighborhood that morning or who has information about the shooting?
