Carlos Arellano-Garcia, a 27-year-old Hispanic man, was shot dead in the predawn hours of April 8, 2022, in the parking lot of a Les Schwab tire store in Hillsboro. Officers who arrived found him lifeless under the store’s lights; the shooting is described as targeted and deliberate. K-9 teams and officers searched the area, but no suspect was located at the scene.

The investigation continued through the year and, according to an official report, a 17-year-old boy was arrested later in 2022 in connection with Carlos Arellano-Garcia’s killing. If anyone witnessed activity in that parking lot before dawn on April 8, 2022, or has information about the arrest, please come forward.
