Jose Quezada, 46, was shot dead on July 27, 2023, in Wilmington, California, after volunteering as a cook at a Summer Night Lights event at the Wilmington Recreation Center on North Neptune Avenue. He was leaving the program, which provides safe activities for families, when two suspects approached and fired multiple rounds; Quezada died at the scene. He was described as a dedicated community member, husband and father of three, with no gang affiliations or criminal history.

The Los Angeles Police Department identified and arrested two suspects: 28-year-old Sergio Esteban of San Pedro, booked on December 6, 2023, on suspicion of murder with bail set at $2 million, and 27-year-old Estevan Hernandez, located in Mexico and arrested January 31, 2024, then extradited and booked on suspicion of murder with bail set at $3 million. Both suspects are documented gang members and the shooting is believed to be gang-motivated, but it remains unclear why Quezada was targeted.

Did anyone in Wilmington know Jose or have information about why he might have been targeted?
