## Resource

21-year-old Eric Velasquez was killed just after midnight on March 7, 1994, in Santa Paula, California. Earlier that night, he had been involved in a confrontation connected to a months-long dispute with a man who had previously threatened him with a gun. Police responded to the scene, broke up the argument, and the situation appeared to calm down. At one point, hands were shaken. About an hour later, Eric walked back outside to go home. He never made it to his car. A single gunshot ended his life. From the beginning, there were people who believed they knew who was responsible. There were witnesses, prior threats, and individuals connected to the events of that night. But decades later, no one has been arrested. This episode breaks down the timeline of Eric Velasquez’s final hours, the missing pieces in the investigation, and the silence that has kept this case unresolved.
