Rafael Wynn, 28, was shot and killed on July 23, 2014, while driving his SUV on General Jim Moore Boulevard in Seaside, California. He had been heading out after midnight to get food when his vehicle was struck by multiple rounds; he was found slumped over in the car and the SUV was later described as riddled with bullets.
Police say Wynn had no known gang ties or criminal history and believe he was misidentified and targeted because of his race, one death in a series of racially motivated killings in Seaside that year. The investigation remains open; multiple detective teams have reexamined the case, the city installed security cameras to help, and no arrests have been announced. Family members, including his sister Jeanesta Tharpe, continue to seek answers and justice.
If anyone has information about that night, or remembers suspicious activity on General Jim Moore Boulevard around midnight on July 23, 2014, please come forward.
