Francisco Ariel Hernandez, 25, was shot and killed on February 17, 2007, in San Diego. He was found in a second-floor motel room at the Economy Inn on Via de San Ysidro after multiple reports of gunshots around 12:05 p.m. Paramedics attempted to save him but he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Investigators say the case has been hindered by limited cooperation from witnesses and no publicly released motive. There were no indications in reports that Hernandez had been involved in drug activity or any disputes before the shooting. The San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit is handling the investigation and the suspect remains at large.
