Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez was a 20-year-old University of California, Santa Barbara student from Los Osos who was fatally shot in Isla Vista, California, on May 23, 2014. He was standing near the entrance to the IV Deli Mart when a single bullet struck his chest. He turned and tried to retreat into the store but collapsed; bystanders and sheriff’s deputies performed CPR and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The attack was part of a wider rampage in Isla Vista that night. The identified perpetrator, Elliot Rodger, also killed three people in a stabbing at his apartment earlier that evening and shot others at a sorority house before reaching the deli where Christopher was struck. Rodger continued driving through the neighborhood, firing at pedestrians and striking people with his vehicle, and ultimately died by suicide during a confrontation with law enforcement.

Christopher was one of six people killed in the spree. Anyone who knew Christopher, his routines, or saw events around the IV Deli Mart that evening is urged to share information that might help the record of what happened.
