Frankie Varela, 32, of Corona, California, was fatally shot on September 20, 2014, during a confrontation on Interstate 15 near the El Cerrito off-ramp. The shooting happened amid a freeway altercation between members of the Mongols and the Hells Angels; authorities have not confirmed which group fired the fatal shots. Varela was not a Mongols member but had friends in the club and was one of three people affiliated with the Mongols who were targeted in the incident.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is handling the investigation and has not announced any arrests. Varela, a U.S. Navy veteran who worked as a correctional officer, is remembered by family and friends as protective and caring. The case remains under investigation. Did anyone witness the confrontation on I-15 or have information about the shooting?
