Nicholas Sihalath was 14 when he was shot dead in Stockton, California, on February 24, 2019. He and a 15-year-old friend, Advan Vang, were riding bicycles in the 7000 block of Montauban Avenue in northeast Stockton in the early morning when both were struck by gunfire. Nicholas was pronounced dead at the scene; Advan later died at a local hospital.

Stockton Police arrested a 15-year-old male suspect in northeast Stockton and booked him into San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall on homicide charges a little over six weeks after the shooting; the suspect’s name has not been released because he is a minor. Police have not released a motive or named other suspects. Nicholas was a freshman at Ronald E. McNair High School who enjoyed sports, fishing, and spending time with family; a candlelight vigil was held for him and Advan.

Does anyone have information about that early-morning shooting on Montauban Avenue or remember seeing the boys that day?
