Israel Gallegos, 35, was shot and killed on the morning of July 17, 2018, in East Salinas near Dallas Avenue and Cortez Street. Officers responding to a gunshot alert system around 6:15 a.m. found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man, 47, was also found with a gunshot wound to the face at a nearby home.

Police say both men were preparing to leave for work when at least one suspect approached and opened fire without prior interaction. Investigators do not believe the victims had gang affiliations and have described the motive as unclear. No arrests have been announced and the Salinas Police Department is asking the public for tips, including anonymous ones.

Does anyone in East Salinas remember seeing activity near Dallas Avenue and Cortez Street that morning or have information that could help the investigation?
