On the evening of September 14, 2024, two Venezuelan immigrants were shot in the 1700 block of Newton Avenue in Barrio Logan. Officers found 28-year-old Osnaider Silveira dead at the scene and 23-year-old Junior Alastre alive but mortally wounded; Alastre was taken to a hospital and succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. Witnesses and investigators report the victims were near a parked vehicle when a man approached, opened fire, then entered a white 2012 Kia Forte belonging to one of the victims. The gunman forced a woman out of the backseat before driving off in the stolen car.

Police located the Kia the next day in Rosemead and arrested 23-year-old Guillermo David Gonzalez of National City. Investigators recovered a handgun registered to Gonzalez, shell casings matching those at the scene, and what appeared to be blood on his shoes. Gonzalez has been charged with two counts of murder and special-circumstance allegations for multiple murders, has pleaded not guilty, and is being held without bail. His next court date is scheduled for October 30, 2024.

Anyone who knew Junior Alastre or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
