Ernest Trevino, 39, was shot at a residence on Glendale Avenue in Modesto around 7:30 PM on March 25, 2020. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. The Modesto Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting.

Police identified a suspect the day after the killing as Mario Trevino Jr., 30, of Salida, who is Ernest’s nephew. Mario Trevino Jr. was arrested during a traffic stop on March 26, 2020, after officers found a loaded firearm in the vehicle he was in; because of prior felony convictions he was prohibited from possessing firearms. Detectives filed murder charges against him on March 31, 2020, and he was booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.

Investigators have not released a motive and continue to seek information about what led to the shooting. Does anyone have relevant information about Ernest, his movements that evening, or the events at the Glendale Avenue residence?
