On the evening of Tuesday, March 21, 1995, Augustine Sendejo was standing on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of San Rafael at about 8:03 pm when a passing vehicle fired one shot that struck him. Sendejo managed to walk across the street, then fell and died in the middle of the street.

Witnesses described the suspect vehicle as a late 1970s to early 1980s dark-colored Chevy Suburban or Blazer with four KC lights on the roof, dark tinted windows, large mud tires, and a loud exhaust. Investigators learned that friends of Sendejo had a run-in with gang members earlier that evening in which shots were exchanged but no one was hit; there is a possibility Sendejo was mistaken for someone connected to that earlier incident.
