On September 25, 2016, 25-year-old Leonardo Martinez-Hernandez, a Hispanic male, was shot in a parking lot in Salem, Oregon, in the 3600 block of 47th Avenue NE at about 12:45 p.m. He was taken to Salem Hospital with life-threatening injuries and died there. The shooting was described as stemming from a gang-related confrontation.

Detectives quickly identified a suspect. The day after the shooting, 18-year-old Isaiah Robert Garcia of Salem was detained, arrested and lodged at the Marion County Jail. Garcia was charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder; authorities allege he shot Martinez-Hernandez and fired at two juveniles who were with him during the incident. Garcia was scheduled to appear in court on those charges.

Are there witnesses or local residents who recall the parking lot confrontation or the people involved who can help fill in what happened?
