Gabriel Jose Herrera Sr., 37, was killed in Stockton, California, on February 29, 2004. Herrera was walking home from a liquor store with his brother and a longtime friend around 10:30 p.m. when they were confronted by a group of men. A fight broke out and someone in the other group began shooting. Herrera and his friend were struck; the friend survived but Herrera died at the scene. The suspects fled on foot and no arrests have been made.

Herrera worked for many years as a janitor for the Stockton Unified School District and was described by family as a hardworking, non‑gang‑affiliated father. The community has held vigils and memorials at the site of the killing, and Deacon Louis Juarez of St. Gertrude’s Church has been active in those gatherings. Detective Ed Rodriguez has said the investigation is hampered by limited witness cooperation and that crucial information is still missing.

Does anyone have information about that night or about people who were in the neighborhood near 10:30 p.m. on February 29, 2004?
