Daniel Eli Gonzalez, 21, was killed in a drive-by shooting on March 26, 2022, on the 300 block of Rustic Avenue in Hollister, California. He and four others were standing outside a home around 9 p.m. when a dark-colored compact SUV drove by and multiple shots were fired. Gonzalez and 23-year-old Jaime Jesus Gomez died at the scene; three other people were wounded and taken to hospitals.

Investigators later described the attack as a case of mistaken identity. Police arrested 28-year-old Alfredo Zendejas in San Jose and charged him with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Officers say firearms, ammunition, magazines, and bulletproof vests were found during a search of his residence. Authorities also stated the victims had no gang affiliations.

The community held vigils for Gonzalez and Gomez, and family members recalled Gonzalez’s kind nature and family values. Does anyone have information about that night or the people who were there?
