On January 17, 2014, 16-year-old Hyden Moya was tragically killed in San Bernardino, California. Hyden, along with his best friend, 15-year-old Joseph Michael Molina, was hanging out with friends in a garage located in the 1100 block of Wall Avenue when they were gunned down by unknown assailants. The incident also resulted in two other men being wounded.
Hyden was pronounced dead at a local hospital, while Joseph was declared dead at the scene.
The shooting was believed to have been triggered by an earlier dispute between a man and several other individuals. Despite the belief that the man involved in the dispute might know the identity of the shooter, police have been unable to obtain a definitive identification. Hyden's family, along with Joseph's, have been actively seeking justice, posting hundreds of fliers around San Bernardino and maintaining regular contact with homicide detectives and a victims' advocate.
The investigation into Hyden Moya's death has faced significant challenges. While the San Bernardino Police Department has seen an improvement in their homicide clearance rates, the case remains unsolved. Witnesses have come forward to provide information, but no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The families of the victims continue to hope for closure and justice, as they navigate the aftermath of this devastating event.
