Alexis Perez, 26, was found in his car after it had crashed into a parked vehicle on Magnolia Street in Ceres, California, on January 21, 2021. Emergency responders and hospital staff attempted life-saving measures, but Perez died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators executed two search warrants less than two weeks later and arrested a 17-year-old male from Ceres. The teenager was charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of an assault weapon. Authorities have not released any information about a possible relationship between Perez and the suspect or a motive for the shooting.

Many details about what led to the shooting remain unclear. Anyone with information about Alexis Perez, the crash on Magnolia Street, or the events before the shooting is asked to come forward.
