On the evening of February 16, 2023, about 10:30 p.m., Pomona patrol officers responded to reports of gunfire in the 1800 block of Cordova Street. They found a pickup stopped at Foothill Boulevard and Falcon Street with two men suffering gunshot wounds. One occupant, 22-year-old Baldwin Park resident Salvador Navarro Jr., was pronounced dead at the scene; the other was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled Navarro Jr.’s death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say the shooting appears to have occurred on Cordova Street and that one of the wounded men drove the pickup to Foothill before stopping. No suspect descriptions or arrests have been released, and the motive remains unknown.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who may have been in the area that night is asked to contact the Pomona Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
