On the evening of November 6, 2022, 26-year-old Branden Michael Lombardo was found inside his maroon Chevrolet Malibu on Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard in central Vancouver, Washington, with a gunshot wound. First responders initially treated the scene as a single-vehicle crash, but investigators found a bullet hole in the car window and an autopsy later determined Lombardo died of a gunshot wound to the head; his death was ruled a homicide.

Vancouver Police Department detectives shifted the investigation from a traffic collision to a murder probe. Detectives used surveillance footage and phone records to reconstruct events, including video that showed an Infiniti SUV following Lombardo’s vehicle as he left an apartment complex parking lot, the SUV pulling alongside his car, and a muzzle flash from the passenger side where a suspect was seated. A suspect was identified and arrested on November 15, 2022, during a probation check-in.

Are there witnesses or anyone who remembers seeing a maroon Chevrolet Malibu or an Infiniti SUV in the area that evening who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
