21-year-old Salvador Rodriguez was one the young people first taken into police custody in connection to the Richmond gang rape, but he was later released by police. Now Rodriguez, a key witness to the rape, is missing.

Rodriguez has been missing since Dec 6th. Family members of Rodriguez say that he received death threats after speaking to ABC 7 news. He told reporters he was skateboarding the night of the incident and saw the rape take place. He said he tried to help the victim after the assault was over. Richmond Police Sergeant Bisa French told KCBS news that they are concerned and that searching for Rodriguez is not easy because he does not have a permanent residence.

Check out the interview Rodriguez did with ABC 7 news. The interview also includes another witness—who doesn’t show his face because he is afraid something may happen to him.
