Terrance Q. Rodgers, 39, was killed in the early hours of June 25, 2016, at a USA Gas station at 3950 Tyler Avenue in Riverside, California. Rodgers was an innocent bystander who was shot multiple times in the torso and head and died at the scene after a violent altercation over a stolen Bluetooth speaker.
The confrontation involved Victor Gastelum and his cousin Jacob Gamboa attempting to retrieve the speaker from Jerome Miller, who had previously assaulted Gastelum. According to the case, Miller approached Gastelum and Gamboa, the situation escalated, and Gastelum and Gamboa opened fire. A video recorded by Gastelum and Gamboa shortly after the shooting, in which they bragged about their actions, was introduced at trial.
A Riverside jury found Victor Gastelum guilty in August 2017 of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder, along with sentence-enhancing allegations; he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in September 2017. Jacob Gamboa and another charged accomplice, Andrew Steve Molina, faced separate charges; trial dates had not been set in the reports cited, and Gamboa was arrested in Mexico months after the shooting.
Did anyone who knew Terrance Rodgers or who was at the gas station that night see something that could add clarity to what happened?
