Abraham Saldinas, a 38-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on May 29, 2014, in the 7300 block of Fulton Avenue in Valley Glen, Los Angeles. The shooting happened around 6 a.m.; Saldinas was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:22 a.m. Reports say an argument erupted between Saldinas and 53-year-old Richard Field after Saldinas, driving a white Ford utility truck, repeatedly rear-ended Field’s van.

Detective Richard Wheeler reported that Field retrieved a .45-caliber pistol and fired several rounds at Saldinas. The background of the conflict includes an earlier threat by Saldinas with a large construction crowbar and that both men were living in their cars and had been arguing over trash and a job Saldinas was supposed to secure for Field. Field was arrested on suspicion of murder, but the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office declined to file charges, saying there was insufficient evidence to support a murder charge.

Many details about how events escalated remain unresolved. Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to the shooting or the dispute between Saldinas and Field?
