On May 23, 2004, officers found 22-year-old Mizraim Hernandez lying face down in the street in the 1700 block of 41st Street in Shelltown, San Diego. He had died of multiple gunshot wounds. Hernandez was a Hispanic male from Mexico who worked as a landscape helper; his father had reported him missing the day before the shooting.

Witnesses heard several gunshots and described seeing a Hispanic male in his early twenties, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a red shirt, with his arm raised as if firing a gun. That man was last seen walking westbound in the 4000 block of Epsilon Street. No suspect has been named in this account.
