Walter Oswaldo Barillas is the last suspect wanted for the homicide of 23-year old Odilon Gonzalez (aka. Odilon Navarette). Authorities say that a woman asked Walter to shoot at Odilon and his girlfriend. The motive was an earlier incident where the woman's windshield was broken with bottles thrown at it during a birthday party for Odilon's girlfriend's sister. The girlfriend did not take part in the bottle throwing incident.
Walter then allegedly committed a drive-by shooting. Odilon was killed and his girlfriend was hit by shattered glass but was otherwise saved by Odilon.
The woman was convicted for her role in Odilon's homicide. Walter on the other hand has never been arrested.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the LAPD Van Nuys Station at 818-374-9500 if you have any information on Walter Oswaldo Barillas's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, February 15, 2024, Walter's case in Los Angeles County's court records database has no listed plea and disposition. There is also no update in his custody status since a warrant was issued. This confirms that he is unfortunately still a fugitive.
I hope that there can be justice and accountability in this case.
