To anyone that reads these comments and is willing to help out the families of these victims; We are having a car wash for Jaime on Sunday, June 24th from 8am to 4pm at A & G auto sound on Whittier and Gerhart. Funds raised from this car wash will go to the family for any expenses and for the children he left behind. Please stop by and get your car washed and help out the families!! Thank You.

The victim to this crime hit home. And thats because Jaime Saldana is my uncle. He died and untimely death. Leaving behind 4 beautiful children and one on the way. How can witness just sit around and not say anything? we need everyones help to have justice be served and bring our family at ease.

I read the homicide report everyday. And is surprises me how so many crimes are acts of random hatred and go unsolved. I pray that we will find the person that caused my family so much undeserved pain.

I LOVE YOU TIO!!! AND ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE UNITED AGAIN..

HIs name is Jaime Raul SaldaƱa. He was a beloved Friend, Father and Brother. He was killed by a coward on the 710 fwy early on Friday, June 15. Most times people see these types of confrontations, do not give it a second thought and continue to drive. In this case, it turned deadly. Someone passing bye or maybe even someone that was close to the actual incident must have seen something.

We are pleading for anyone that might have seen anything to come forward and contact police. Jaime left behind 4 lovely children.

We love and miss you very much brother...you will be in our hearts and prayers.
