Michael Ontiveros, known as Connor, was killed on March 3, 2021, in an apartment in the 500 block of Gray Avenue in Yuba City, California. Detectives learned of a possible shooting days later, found evidence of a crime scene at the apartment, but did not locate Ontiveros’ body there, prompting a homicide investigation.

The probe involved multiple agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, Chico State University’s anthropology department, and the Yuba County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Dive Team. Over the following year detectives interviewed numerous witnesses and collected substantial evidence that led to charges and warrants in April 2022: Arthur Gomez, Ricky Martinez, and Jaime Gonzalez were arrested on accessory after the fact of murder charges, and an arrest warrant was issued charging Timothy King with murder while he was already in custody on an unrelated charge.

The case remains active and investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have tips or information about Ontiveros, the Gray Avenue apartment, or events around March 3, 2021?
