San Diego County Crime Stoppers, working with the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit, continues to seek information about the murder of Salvador Hernandez.  Salvador’s family will hold a vigil Saturday, February 16, 2013 to bring attention to the unsolved case.

On February 16, 2008, at approximately 3:30 a.m., 26-year-old Salvador Hernandez and a female companion were inside a parked car in the 5500 block of Seifert Street in the neighborhood of Chollas Creek.  An unknown older, light colored pick-up truck pulled alongside Salvador’s vehicle.  An occupant of that vehicle shot Salvador and his companion. The companion survived the shooting but Salvador died as a result of his wounds.

 On Saturday February 16, 2013 at 5:30 p.m., family and friends will gather at Holy Spirit Church, located at 2725 55th Street, for a Mass dedicated to Salvador.  Immediately following the Mass there will be a vigil at the scene of the homicide (5500 block of Seifert Street) which is next to the church.
