Luis Morin, 39, was shot and killed on January 27, 2014, in Coachella, California. The shooting occurred in a driveway and was witnessed by Morin’s mother; Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Oscar Rodriguez was the officer who fired the fatal shots. The department initially described the contact as an attempt to serve two felony arrest warrants.

Within weeks the case drew intense scrutiny amid community rumors of a romantic rivalry involving Rodriguez and Diana Perez, the mother of two of Morin’s children. Perez later admitted in 2015 to an affair with Rodriguez, which prompted the sheriff’s department to reopen the inquiry. Investigators found a dysfunctional climate at the Thermal Sheriff’s Station and learned that at least five deputies who knew of the rivalry had not told homicide detectives.

A grand jury indicted Rodriguez for murder in 2017 and charged Perez as an accessory for allegedly destroying evidence; both pleaded not guilty. The prosecution alleged Rodriguez used the warrant as a pretext to confront and kill Morin for personal reasons.

Did anyone in Coachella know Luis Morin or have information about the events leading up to January 27, 2014?
