Hector Perez, 21, of Cathedral City, California, was shot during a marijuana transaction and died of his injuries on March 21, 2016. Police found him sitting in his car near Baristo Road and Date Palm Drive at about 12:53 a.m.; he was conscious when rescuers arrived, was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center, and later succumbed to an upper-body gunshot wound. Reports say the shooting occurred after an altercation during a drug deal at a different location, and Perez managed to drive away and call for help before losing consciousness.

Authorities did not release suspect information immediately and described the case as an active investigation while seeking anyone with information. Does anyone in Cathedral City have information about the transaction or the people Perez met that night?
