Juan Carlos Muñoz Jr., an 18-year-old from National City, was killed in a gang-related ambush on October 11, 2015. Muñoz was driving with a 17-year-old passenger when another vehicle followed them and pulled in front of their car near Prospect and East 16th streets. The attackers issued a gang challenge and opened fire; Muñoz suffered fatal gunshot wounds to his arm, shoulder, and neck. His passenger was shot in the leg and survived.

Two men, Roger Hernandez and Luis Karam, were later arrested in late 2018. Hernandez was convicted of murder and attempted murder and received 67 years to life in state prison. Karam pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years in state prison. Authorities said the shooters had mistaken Muñoz and his companion for rival gang members.

Does anyone have information about Muñoz’s final movements that evening or recall seeing the vehicles involved near Prospect and East 16th streets?
