On October 2, 2023, 41-year-old Ramon Galvan Lopez and 42-year-old Evangelina Ybarra were found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a gym at Shaffer Road and Fortuna Avenue in Atwater, California. The bodies were discovered around 10:30 p.m. Ramon Lopez, a Livingston resident and U.S. Air Force veteran who had recently begun working as a safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration, is survived by his 3-year-old son; his brother Rene Lopez described him as kind and patient.

Atwater police have identified 42-year-old Daniel Corona Garibay of Livingston as the primary suspect and say he was last seen in the Atwater-Livingston area on a red and black Honda motorcycle with license plate 24E3412. Authorities have urged the public not to approach him and to contact law enforcement. Police say the shootings were not random and may reflect a prior connection between the victims and the suspect, though no further relationship details have been released and no arrests have been made. A candlelight vigil was held and family and friends are seeking justice.

If anyone has information that could help locate Daniel Corona Garibay or shed light on what happened, please contact the Atwater Police Department.
