Harold Stubbs, who lived alone at 1342 Eighth Avenue, was last seen at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, 1986, when he briefly visited a next-door neighbor and said he was getting beer to bring back to friends. The neighbor reported hearing partying and conversation in Stubbs’ apartment until about 9 p.m., when guests left and the apartment became quiet.

The next morning Stubbs did not appear for work. The complex manager and another tenant entered his apartment and found him dead in his bedroom; he had been bound hand and foot and strangled. A neighbor reported seeing a brown car similar to a Ford Pinto with Florida plates parked in front of the building that weekend and observed two males in their 20s moving between the car and Stubbs’ apartment. One was described as dark-haired with a moustache and the other as blond-haired.

Investigators asked to speak with Felipe Sanchez Gomez, described at the time as about 29 to 32 years old, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds; he was a close friend of the victim and formerly lived at 4029 Delta Street. Anyone with information about Gomez, the two men seen that weekend, or the brown car is asked to come forward.
