Rufino Banuelos Benitez, 25, was shot and killed in San Jose on May 6, 2018. The shooting occurred in the early hours near Story Road and Jackson Avenue; police responded to reports about 12:10 a.m. and found Benitez with at least one gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, the city’s seventh homicide that year.

Initial investigation produced few public leads and little information about the circumstances or possible suspects. In February 2019, authorities arrested 31-year-old Uriel Cabrera of Antioch in Emeryville in connection with Benitez’s murder. Ballistic testing linked a bullet from a 2016 Concord shooting to the weapon used in Benitez’s killing. Motive and the events leading up to the shooting remain unclear.

If anyone knew Rufino, his movements that night, or saw activity near Story Road and Jackson Avenue around 12:10 a.m., can you share what you know?
