On the evening of September 14, 2024, San Diego police responded to gunfire in the 1700 block of Newton Avenue in Barrio Logan. Officers found two men with gunshot wounds; 28-year-old Osnaider Silveira was pronounced dead at the scene and 23-year-old Junior Alastre was taken to hospital and later died. Both men were recent immigrants from Venezuela.

Investigators say Silveira, Alastre and a third person were near a parked vehicle when a Hispanic male in his thirties with short hair and a full beard approached and opened fire. The suspect then entered a white 2012 Kia Forte belonging to one of the victims, ordered a woman out of the backseat and fled. The stolen Kia was located in Rosemead the next day; a man matching the description, identified as 23-year-old Guillermo David Gonzalez of National City, was arrested without incident and booked on charges including two counts of murder, carjacking and robbery.

Prosecutors allege one victim was shot five times and the other about 17 times, that a handgun registered to Gonzalez and matching shell casings were found in the vehicle, and that investigators observed what appeared to be bloodstains on his shoes. Gonzalez pleaded not guilty and is held without bail. Did anyone in Barrio Logan or the surrounding area see or hear anything that night that could help explain what led to this attack?
