Salome Rodriguez Jr., 23, was shot and killed near Third Street and Main Street in Pomona on March 13, 2015, at about 3:30 a.m. Pomona police found Rodriguez with gunshot wounds in a parking lot near an area of bars and nightclubs; he was taken to L.A. County-USC Medical Center, where he later died.

Investigators quickly identified off-duty LAPD probationary officer Henry Solis, 27, as the primary suspect after both men had reportedly been at the Viva Tequila Lounge and Nightclub that night. Solis did not report for work the next day; authorities later issued an arrest warrant and described him as armed and dangerous. Solis fled to Mexico with the assistance of his father, Victor Solis, leading to FBI involvement and a $25,000 reward for information. Victor was later indicted for making false statements to FBI investigators and surveillance showed he traveled with his son. Henry Solis was arrested in Juarez on May 26, 2015, extradited to El Paso, and later tried and convicted of second-degree murder; he was sentenced to 40 years to life. Victor Solis received probation and a $1,000 fine for lying to federal authorities.

Are there details about Rodriguez’s life, his movements that night, or witnesses who haven’t been heard from that could shed more light on what happened?
