Stephen Maithya Kathale, a 27-year-old Kenyan immigrant, was found dead in Palm Springs, California, on September 25, 2018. His vehicle had crashed into a brick wall at the intersection of Rosa Parks and Granada late that night; officers found Kathale in the driver’s seat with fatal gunshot wounds. Investigators determined he had been shot multiple times and believe the shooting occurred while he was driving, causing him to lose control and hit the wall.

No immediate arrests were made and the case remained unsolved for some time. Family and friends described Kathale as kind and hardworking and held vigils and memorials calling for justice. Police continued to follow leads and appeal to the public, but the identity of the shooter remained unknown.

Does anyone who lived in Palm Springs in 2018 remember anything unusual near Rosa Parks and Granada that night or have information that could help investigators?
