Anthony Ronald Palomares, a 23-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on April 5, 2016, near Telegraph Road and Bartley Avenue in Santa Fe Springs, close to Friendship Park. Whittier police say they received reports of gunfire about 6:30 p.m.; officers found Palomares, described as transient, in a grassy area with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 8:22 p.m.

Witnesses reported two men approached Palomares and engaged in an argument before one produced a handgun and shot him. Investigators describe the motive as a disagreement between Palomares and the suspects, who were known to each other. Two suspects were arrested: 25-year-old Daniel Esquer was taken into custody two days later and 17-year-old Marcus Rene Garcia was arrested a week after the killing. Both were charged with murder and pleaded not guilty; prosecutors added gang and handgun special allegations. Two other people who were initially detained, Cruz Bermudez and Adam Giavelli, were released without charges related to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Palomares, his movements that evening, or the people involved?
