Darwin Devon Derosans, 50, was shot and killed on December 23, 2019, near the Captain’s Anchor Bar on Thornton Road in North Stockton. Known to family and friends as Pooke, he had been at the bar earlier that evening.

Gonzalez fled to Mexico after the killing and was later apprehended with assistance from a US Marshals task force; he was arrested on New Year’s Eve and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on homicide charges. The case went to trial; the jury convicted Gonzalez and he was sentenced to 40 years to life. Darwin Derosans’ father attended portions of the trial.

Derosans’ family remembered him as generous, someone who hosted barbecues for neighbors and helped children in need. If anyone knew Darwin, where he spent time, or has information about that night, please share what can help explain what happened.
