Hugo Luis Velazquez Vazquez, 45, was fatally shot on July 18, 1984, during the San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre in San Diego, California. The attack was carried out by a lone gunman, James Huberty, who entered the restaurant and opened fire, killing 21 people and wounding 19 others over about 77 minutes before a SWAT team member fatally shot him.

Reports say Huberty, a 41-year-old unemployed welder with documented mental health problems, had told his wife he was going hunting before driving to the McDonald’s and beginning the rampage. Hugo was among those killed inside the restaurant. The aftermath included lawsuits by victims’ families against McDonald’s and the San Diego Police Department and prompted changes in active shooter response protocols.
