and vowed revenge. Smart was not present during verbal altercation or shooting, but stated
GARCIALEAL is known to carry a firearm.
During your affiant’s review of the surveillance footage, Taitano and GARCIALEAL appear to be in a
verbal altercation during the early morning hours of 04-04-2017. Your affiant observed Taitano punch
GARCIALEAL in the face and the two part ways. At approximately 2010 hours, GARCIALEAL returned
to east end of the parking lot of 605 E. Twain Avenue, near Roma Pizza and appeared to be wearing a
dark colored jacket with light colored sleeves. Minutes later, Taitano arrived and observed GARCIALEAL
on east end of the parking lot near Roma Pizza. Taitano's attention appeared to be focused on
GARCIALEAL's position as the two exchanged words across the parking lot. Taitano eventually entered
Crown Liquor and exited a short time later. Upon his exit, Taitano remained focus on GARCIALEAL's
last know position, the east end of the parking lot. At approximately 2016 hours, GARCIALEAL departed
the area on his bicycle toward the rear of the businesses as Taitano remained near the entrance of Crown
Liquor. Taitano mounted his bicycle and remained facing an eastbound direction. GARCIALEAL
reappeared on video surveillance near the far west end of the parking lot, to the rear of Taitano. As

physical altercation and the shooting. During the review, Aguirre-Ontiveros identified Taitano as the
