Jose Luis Salgado, a 28-year-old Latino man, was shot dead on February 26, 2014, in Whittier, California. Whittier police responded to a call about a man down on Lambert Road; Salgado was found with a gunshot wound to the head and later pronounced dead at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood. Initial investigators reported no immediate signs of a drive-by and did not have a clear motive.

Further investigation concluded the killing resulted from mistaken identity. Robert Anthony Garcia, identified as a member of the Canta Ranas gang, and an accomplice had been tagging the neighborhood to expand their territory. They encountered Salgado, an exchange of words occurred, and Garcia fatally shot him despite Salgado having no gang ties. Garcia was arrested, tried, found guilty of murder and related vehicle theft charges, and sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Did anyone in Whittier know Salgado or have information about his movements that night?
