Seventeen-year-old Daniel Tovar-Moreno, a Hispanic/Latino male, was shot and killed on the evening of July 7, 2021, in the parking lot of an AMC movie theater in Bellevue, Washington. He was struck at point-blank range with a sawed-off shotgun and later died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being rushed there. Witnesses were deterred from rendering aid when the assailant paced between his vehicle and Daniel’s, then fled the scene.

Bellevue detectives arrested 18-year-old Carlos Anthony Espinoza at his Renton residence the next day, July 8, 2021. Searches of his car and home recovered a shotgun in the backseat, a hacksaw, and a removed barrel segment found in his bedroom, evidence investigators connected to the modified weapon used in Daniel’s killing. Espinoza was charged with second-degree murder with a firearm enhancement and unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun; the case also included an additional third-degree assault charge tied to a June 2021 threat against a dating partner.

Does anyone have information about Daniel’s last evening at the theater or the people who were there that night?
