It is very possible that I was not from Santa Ana,
California, but rather just passing through. It is also possible I just
arrived. Could I have been here only to visit family? Or maybe I was here to
find work. There are many different reasons why I could have been in Santa Ana,
California.
I guess I should start at the beginning, well the beginning
for you, anyway. On September 4, 1988, I was at the corner of Myrtle and Bristol
in Santa Ana, California. It was evening, around 8:45 p.m. A gunshot rang out .
. . man down, man down. Yeah, I wish this was a TV show I was telling you about,
but it wasn’t. That gunshot that rang out hit me right in the chest. The police
were called. I was transported to Western Medical Center. At 10:00 p.m., I was
pronounced dead.
Here’s the tricky part. I had no identification. I couldn’t
tell them my name. All the authorities had was my physical description:
Hispanic male, thirty to forty-five years old, 5’5”, and 140 lbs., with brown
eyes and short, bushy brown hair. I was uncircumcised, and my blood type was
B+. I was missing some teeth, and the condition of the remaining teeth
suggested third world dental work. They took my fingerprints and my DNA.
A few days later, the police told the media that it was not
gang related. The police continued to investigate. These events took place 25
years ago. No new information came forward. Today I remain unidentified.
Do you know who I am? If I had been illegal, and that’s the
only reason you didn’t come forward, please consider giving an anonymous tip. Just
tell them who I am. If there was another reason put that aside, and just give
them by name. That’s all I ask. Do you know who I am?
