Ruben Chairez Cisneros, an 18-year-old recent high school graduate from Stockton, California, was shot and killed on April 8, 2018. He was found in a BMW convertible in a shopping center in Stockton’s Weston Ranch neighborhood with gunshot wounds to his head and armpit after what investigators described as a robbery that escalated into a fatal shooting.

Two men were identified as suspects: Joseph Henderson and Antwaune Burrise, both 21 at the time. Antwaune Burrise was taken into custody and was awaiting trial; that proceeding experienced delays attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and health issues affecting legal counsel. Ruben’s father, Sergio Chairez, said he did not feel hatred toward the suspects and attributed their actions to poor judgment. Family, friends and the community have held vigils and memorials in Ruben’s memory.

If anyone has information about the robbery or shooting that killed Ruben, please share what you know with investigators.
