Louis Fimbres Jr., 34, of Shafter, California, died on September 21, 2014. Born January 6, 1980, his death was investigated as a homicide rather than a natural death. Authorities pursued multiple leads, questioned several people, and identified and arrested a suspect in connection with the killing.

The case proceeded through court, with witnesses testifying at trial. Prosecutors argued the killing was premeditated; the jury returned a guilty verdict and the convicted person received a lengthy prison sentence. The loss had a deep effect on Louis’s family and his community in Shafter.

If anyone knew Louis, his movements in September 2014, or has information about the case, please come forward.
