Background
On April 29, 2007, at approximately 8:53 p.m., Aaron Anthony Breaux, was found suffering from a life-threatening injury in an apartment complex parking lot located on the 38000 block of Fremont Blvd. Aaron was 19 years old at the time, had attended Washington High School and lived in a nearby apartment complex with his family.
During the initial investigation, witnesses told officers they heard two gunshots just outside of the apartment but did not see any suspicious vehicles or persons. The Coroner later confirmed Aaron died of a gunshot wound.
Although we have some information based on witness accounts, this case has remained unsolved for 15 years. We believe that there are people who have information about this case and are hopeful that by re-sharing the details, someone will come forward.
On March 26, 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the availability of a $50,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects wanted in connection with the murder of Aaron Anthony Breaux. The reward has been confirmed to still be available as part of the Governor’s crime tip reward program. Aaron’s family has raised an additional $10,000 to contribute to the reward.
In speaking with the mother of the victim, Debra Florez, she provided the following statement about her son’s case:
“The past fifteen years has been nothing short of unbearable. Hearing the words 'your son has died' shatters your world and everything in it. No words can describe the pain and utter desperation you and your loved ones will go through for the rest of our lives. My son was the most kind hearted person, full of life…His presence made you smile and laugh. He could cheer you up in a second. Everyone loved being around him.”
