San Diego – San Diego Police have made an arrest in the shooting of two men that occurred in the 1700 block of Newton Avenue in the Barrio Logan area on Saturday night.
On September 14, 2024, at approximately 9:39 p.m., the San Diego Police Communications Center received a report of gunshots in the area of 1700 Newton Avenue. Officers from Central Division responded and located two men suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The first victim, an 18-year-old Hispanic male, was determined to be dead at the scene. The second victim, a 23-year-old Hispanic male, was transported to a local hospital but did not survive. The victims have been tentatively identified and both are believed to be recent immigrants from Venezuela, but their names will not be released at this time pending family notifications.
San Diego Police Homicide Detectives were called to the scene to investigate. The preliminary information gathered is that the two men and a third person were in and around a parked vehicle at 1700 Newton Avenue when the suspect approached them and started shooting at the two male victims.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic male in his thirties with short hair and a full beard wearing dark clothing. The suspect then entered a white 2012 Kia Forte belonging to one of the victims. Once in the car, the man realized there was a female in the backseat. He ordered her out of the car and fled in the Kia.
On September 15, 2024, the Kia was located in the Los Angeles area occupied by a man matching the above description. Thanks to the assistance of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office, the man was taken into custody without incident in the 1000 block of San Gabriel Blvd in Rosemead, California. He has been
booked into San Diego County Jail on two counts of murder, one count of carjacking, and one count of robbery. The suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Guillermo David Gonzalez of National City. Detectives are continuing to investigate this incident, including processing the scene for physical
evidence, attempting to locate and interview witnesses, and canvassing the area for surveillance footage.
The first victim, a 28-year-old Hispanic male, was determined to be dead at the scene. He has been identified as Osnaider Silveira. Silveira was initially identified as being 18 years old, but this was incorrect. The second victim, a 23-year- old Hispanic male, was transported to a local hospital but did not survive. He has been identified as Junior Alastre. Both Silveira and Alastre are believed to be recent immigrants from Venezuela.
