Carlos Ortiz Jr., 41, of Lathrop, California, was killed in a targeted freeway shooting on November 1, 2022. The California Highway Patrol responded around 10:30 a.m. to a traffic collision on southbound Interstate 5 near State Route 120 and found a white SUV with Ortiz and his 3-year-old daughter inside. Ortiz had a single gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene; his daughter was unharmed and returned to family.

Investigators say the shooting was targeted rather than random, but no suspects or suspect vehicles have been identified and no arrests have been announced. The CHP Valley Division’s Investigative Services Unit is asking anyone with information to come forward as the probe continues.

Did anyone traveling that stretch of I-5 on the morning of November 1, 2022, see a white SUV or anything unusual that could help investigators?
