SAPD Advisory: Santa Ana Homicide Information – September 10, 2013.

On Tuesday, September 10, 2013, at approximately 2145 hours, officers responded to the 1000 Blk. of Walnut regarding a male adult who was found on the sidewalk apparently in need of medical assistance.

Upon arrival officers found a 24-year-old male who appeared to have visible injuries to his upper torso. The Orange County Fire Authority and Paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the victim deceased.

The decedent was later identified as Gustavo Avalos Salazar (24) Santa Ana. It appears that earlier in the evening, Salazar may have been involved in a physical altercation in the area of Edinger and Flower with a person who has yet to be identified. Afterwards, Salazar was driven to the 1000 Blk. of Walnut where he was found by patrol officers.

The Santa Ana Police Department is asking that anyone with information regarding this incident call SAPD detectives at (714) 245-8390. Or Orange County Crime Stoppers at  1-855-TIP-OCCS.

Editor’s Note: the Santa Ana Problems Facebook page is suggesting that a “baby momma” hired thugs to attack her boyfriend, Salazar, who apparently was the man found by the police.  This has not been corroborated as of yet.
