69: MURDER: Matthew Flores

On the morning of March 24, 1994, 26-year-old Matthew Flores, a former Army lieutenant and Gulf War veteran, parked his rented car outside his new workplace in Santa Clara, California. Moments later, he was shot execution-style as he leaned into the car to grab his jacket. The parking lot was full of employees starting their day, yet no one saw the shooter. Security footage revealed a dark Ford Explorer circling the lot suspiciously around the time Matt was killed, but unfortunately, his murder was not captured on camera. Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have ever been identified publicly. It’s been over 30 years since Matt was killed, and investigators are still searching for the killer...
