Luis Adrian Godinez Gonzalez, a 56-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot inside his San Diego home on Skyline Drive on April 27, 2025. Officers responding to reports of gunfire and an armed man found Gonzalez inside the residence with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Police identified the suspect as Gonzalez’s 35-year-old son, Adrian Godinez. Early that morning deputies received calls about a gunshot and an armed man walking in the neighborhood, and shortly after an attempted armed robbery at Moonlight Liquor where a shot was fired but nothing was taken. Officers spotted a man matching the description entering the backyard of the house; blood was observed on the suspect and at the front of the residence. The suspect was seen manipulating a handgun in the yard, later surrendered in different clothing and without the weapon.

Preliminary reports indicate the shooting inside the home occurred before the liquor-store incident. Adrian Godinez was booked on charges of murder and attempted murder and remains in custody without bail; his defense has requested a mental competency hearing set for June 10. Anyone with information about the events leading up to the shooting is asked to come forward.
