Hijinio Jimenez Gonzalez, 22, was shot dead on May 9, 2016, at Baby Blue Fashion in South El Monte, California, where he worked. Around 8:23 a.m. a man on a bicycle asked him to come outside; when he did the man, identified as 31-year-old Leonel Xotoy, pulled a revolver and shot Jimenez Gonzalez multiple times. Coworkers rushed out, subdued Xotoy and held him until deputies arrived. Jimenez Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene.

Xotoy was arrested on suspicion of murder and booked into jail; an arraignment was set for May 12, 2016, at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Pomona. Authorities said they were initially uncertain about the relationship between the two men but noted that the victim may have been involved with a coworker who had children with Xotoy, and that the coworker’s on-again, off-again relationship with Xotoy may have been a factor.

The family started an online fundraiser to raise $7,000 to transport his body to Mexico for burial. Does anyone have information about Hijinio Jimenez Gonzalez, his work at Baby Blue Fashion, or the events that led up to the shooting?
