On August 31, 2021, Amanda Nicole Ferrell, 30, was fatally shot in Salinas, California. The shooting happened about 12:33 PM on East Bernal Drive near Maryal Drive after a ShotSpotter alert for ten rounds. Amanda and 33-year-old Michael David Ramos were found with multiple gunshot wounds and both died shortly after officers arrived.

According to investigators, Amanda and Michael had gone to a residence to pick up a rented vehicle when a silver sedan with four occupants pulled up. One occupant asked Michael where he was from, then two people in the sedan opened fire. The suspects fled northbound in the sedan. Salinas detectives recovered surveillance video and identified the driver as 21-year-old David Delgado Jimenez, arrested September 2, 2021. Subsequent actions by investigators led to charges against Yohani Nevarez Mendez, 18, a 17-year-old juvenile, and 20-year-old Mario Alexander Rodriguez.

With suspects identified and taken into custody, the department said there was no additional risk to the community. Did anyone in the area see the silver sedan or have other information about that afternoon?
