Xavier Gonzalez was 19 and a Stockton, California resident when he was shot on October 10, 2020, near South Golden Gate Avenue and East Marsh Street. The shooting happened just before 1 p.m.; officers found Gonzalez in critical condition and he died the following morning at a local hospital. A 17-year-old boy was also wounded and survived after being taken to the hospital by a private party.

Investigators described a scene with at least two damaged vehicles, a red Ford and a white Kia, with debris between them, and officers entering a nearby home whose connection to the shooting was not clear. Friends and family, including his cousin Tina Ramirez, held a memorial near the intersection and remembered Gonzalez as family-oriented and soon to be a father.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Stockton Police Department or Stockton Crime Stoppers; can readers from east Stockton share anything they remember about that afternoon?
