Jonathan Estrada, 27, a Latino man from Pomona, was shot and killed in the 400 block of Lucera Court shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1.

Estrada died at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center of wounds to his upper body. Authorities say he apparently confronted two armed men who were attempting to steal his girlfriend’s car. One assailant was described as a light-skinned Latino in his mid- to late-20s, about 5 feet 9 with a thin build and blond hair. The second was described as a Latino in his mid-40s with a medium complexion, a mustache, a goatee and 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 7.
