On the evening of May 5, 2020, 18-year-old Isaiah Rule told his mother he was going out for tacos and would be right back; he never returned. That night, around 11:15 p.m., police responded to reports of gunfire in the parking lot of Golden West High School in Visalia, California, and found Isaiah and his two best friends, 19-year-olds Blake Medeiros and Jose Carlos Hernandez Pena, shot to death. The three had arrived together in the same car and were not current students at the school.

Visalia detectives pursued the case for nearly two years, at one point offering more than $50,000 in rewards and asking the public to help identify a dark-colored truck and a light-colored car seen in the area. Investigators later concluded the killings occurred during a planned robbery connected to a drug transaction; authorities identified the suspects as members of the Sureño gang and said Abraham Molina fired the shots.

In 2022 three men were arrested and charged with three counts of murder with special circumstances. In May (year not specified) Cesar Lopez and Mark Aceves were found guilty of three counts of murder with special circumstances and the following month were each sentenced to three consecutive terms of life without parole. As of June 2026, those two men are serving life sentences and Abraham Molina remained scheduled for a later trial. If anyone knew Isaiah, Blake, or Jose Carlos, or has information about the case, please come forward.
