On April 17, 2016, 19-year-old Jose Enrique Ortiz was found dead in the middle of a San Bernardino street, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred late at night and was one of several violent incidents that month in a wave of gun-related homicides across the city.

Ortiz’s death came during a particularly violent stretch in early 2016 when San Bernardino experienced numerous shootings within days of one another and a high overall homicide rate. Authorities urged the public to come forward with any information that might help solve Ortiz’s killing and the other violent crimes then affecting the community.

If anyone knew Ortiz or saw activity in the area that night, please share what you know with the investigators handling the case.
