Jose Feliciano Alvarado, 25, was found shot to death on a dirt access road in Kern County, California, on February 15, 2007. The death was caused by multiple gunshot wounds; court documents describe him being shot twice in the chest and then again in the back and buttocks as he tried to crawl under a vehicle.

Court papers allege Daniel Marquez Gonzalez picked Alvarado up that day, drove him to a secluded spot and shot him after accusing him of involvement with Gonzalez’s wife. Gonzalez reportedly fled the scene, led authorities on a high-speed chase, and escaped to Mexico before later being located and extradited back to Kern County.

As of the time of these reports, Gonzalez, then 51, was charged with first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty; the prosecution’s case relied on witness testimony and forensic evidence. Does anyone have information about Alvarado’s life in Kern County or saw him around February 2007 that could help investigators?
