A Pomona youth pastor who was shot to death in a car almost two years ago may have been targeted because he was Latino, a Pomona police homicide detective said Thursday.
Daniel Diaz, 33, was killed before 1 a.m. on Nov. 11, 2013, as he and a friend dropped off one of three boys they'd taken to the movies to celebrate Diaz's birthday and one of the teens' graduation from a youth program.
Diaz was in the front passenger seat of a car when it stopped at Park and Mayfair avenues in Pomona to look up directions for the next house.
