Fifteen-year-old Tarrell McClendon was shot and killed on December 17, 2020, in north Stockton. The shooting happened around 1 p.m. on Kelley Drive. McClendon was found with gunshot wounds and taken to a local hospital, where he later died; the San Joaquin County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity.

Police say no suspects have been publicly identified and the motive remains unclear. Investigators were asking the public for help and were looking for a late 1990s burgundy sedan seen in the area around the time of the shooting. McClendon’s family described him as an active, happy youth who loved football and hoped to play in the NFL; a GoFundMe was set up to assist with funeral costs.

Does anyone in Stockton remember seeing a late 1990s burgundy sedan or have other information that could help investigators?
