Episode Details

On the tenth anniversary of the tragic death of Salvador “Chavita” Esparza III, officials in Los Angeles County have increased the reward to $85,000 for information regarding his unsolved murder. The four-year-old boy was killed by a stray bullet in 2016 while standing on a relative's porch during a gang-related pursuit in Altadena. Despite a decade of investigation and numerous tips, the shooters who fled in a dark-colored vehicle remain at large. The boy’s grieving mother and grandmother continue to advocate for justice, sharing memories of his joyful life and dreams of becoming a first responder. Law enforcement and local supervisors hope the significant financial incentive will finally encourage witnesses to break their silence and provide closure for the family. This case highlights the devastating impact of community violence and the persistent efforts required to solve cold cases involving innocent victims.
