Ever Gonzalez Marin, a 38-year-old Latino man from El Ayote, Nicaragua, was killed on April 20, 2025, in a remote desert area of Palmdale, California. Deputies and emergency personnel responded to reports of a traffic collision with injuries near 47th Street East and Avenue V-4 and discovered two Hispanic men with fatal gunshot wounds; Ever Gonzalez Marin was among those who died.

Reports say Marin had been working as a caretaker in a workshop and was ambushed by a group of armed assailants during an attempted robbery. He resisted and was fatally shot alongside his coworker, Hector Cabrera, 61. Authorities have not released information about arrests or named suspects, and the investigation is ongoing. Marin’s family is arranging repatriation of his body to Nicaragua for burial.

Does anyone have information about security concerns for migrant workers in that Palmdale area or details that could help investigators?
