Domonique Lewis, a 30-year-old resident of Modesto, California, was shot to death in the parking lot of an AM/PM convenience store on 5th Street on August 12, 2018. Investigators say Lewis had met with two Hispanic males just before the shooting; police classified the death as a homicide and the motive remains unclear.

Detectives made several arrests in the days and months that followed. On August 15, 2018, 20-year-old Angel Contreras was arrested and charged with homicide. On August 21, 2018, 29-year-old Junior Ramiro Suarez was arrested after a search warrant was executed at a Sutter Avenue residence with assistance from Modesto’s SWAT and UAV teams. A third suspect, 31-year-old Gabriel Avila, was arrested in October 2019 after attempting to flee while working in a field near Garrison Avenue and Maze Boulevard.

Community tips were credited with helping investigators develop leads. Does anyone have information about Lewis’s movements that day or about the meeting he had in the store parking lot?
