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.
