Fidel Aleman was a 33-year-old California Highway Patrol officer killed on July 23, 1992, after a confrontation on the Pomona Freeway. While driving to report for his shift at the Central Los Angeles CHP station, Aleman flashed his headlights at a pickup that had made an unsafe lane change in front of him. The pickup began following him with high beams on and continued tailing him after he exited at the Pico Boulevard off-ramp.

Aleman stepped out of his vehicle to confront the driver. The pickup pulled alongside, someone pointed a shotgun through the passenger window and fired, striking Aleman in the chest. He managed to fire one round at the fleeing suspect. Aleman was taken to California Medical Center by his fiancée, fellow CHP officer Gretchen Jacobs, but died shortly after arrival. The suspect was never apprehended and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has memories of that night on the Pomona Freeway or information that could help identify the shooter, please share what is known.
