Leonardo Morales was 9 when he was killed by gunfire in Madera, California, on February 18, 2018. Around 7:20 p.m. a vehicle pulled up alongside the car he was riding in with his father near the intersection of Tozer and Olive and opened fire. Both Leonardo and his father were struck by multiple bullets; Leonardo later died after being taken to Madera Community Hospital, while his father survived with superficial wounds. Leonardo was in the car for visitation with his father; he usually lived with his mother and was a fourth-grade student at Chavez Elementary in the Madera Unified School District.

Madera police have classified the shooting as gang-related, noting the father was an associate and the older brother a confirmed gang member, and believe the attack was targeted. Investigators increased patrols and sought leads, but no arrests have been made and the case has gone cold. Does anyone have information about that evening or what they saw near Tozer and Olive on February 18, 2018?
