Nicolas Bautista was found in front of his home on the sidewalk, dead by a gunshot wound back in October.
Police believe Bautista was killed in a case of mistaken identity as detectives say he was shot by a man he did not know.
Pasadena police responded to the shooting of Bautista in the 200 block of Wafer on the afternoon of Oct. 28.
According to witnesses, 37-year-old Nicolas was outside of his home when a man with a shotgun confronted him.
Police say after the two men had a brief conversation, the suspect shot his weapon one time and then drove away.
Investigators believe Oscar Garvia was behind the murder, and nearly a year later, the Bautista's don't know where their son's suspected killed could be.
