Ruben Rios, a 44-year-old Latino man, was fatally shot on February 7, 2014, in Walnut Park, California. Coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds, and witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene.

Investigators treated the shooting as a targeted attack rather than a random incident. Police identified several suspects, conducted interviews, and gathered forensic and witness evidence as the probe moved forward. Arrests were made and charges related to the shooting and alleged conspiracies were filed, and court proceedings were under way.

Rios’s death is one more fatal shooting in a neighborhood already affected by violence. If anyone knew Ruben, saw activity in the area on February 7, 2014, or has information about the people or vehicle witnesses described, please come forward to assist the ongoing inquiries.
