Maynor Noe Funes Nieto, 17, of Oakland was killed on April 2, 2018, around 6:30 p.m. on the 1100 block of East 23rd Street. He and his older brother were walking on the sidewalk when a gunman approached and opened fire; Maynor died at the scene and his brother survived despite multiple gunshot wounds.

Authorities linked the shooting to gang-related violence. Maynor was identified as affiliated with the Surenos; his cousin, Olga Gisel Salgado, 19, was described as affiliated with the rival Norteno group. Court documents say Salgado called a Norteno member to target Surenos, including Maynor, which allegedly prompted the arrival of the person who carried out the shooting. Salgado was charged with murder and with assault with a firearm and a gang enhancement; another suspect, Erick Canseco, 23, was charged as an accessory and allegedly admitted driving the shooter to the scene.

On June 25, 2018, the Alameda County District Attorney dismissed the murder charge against Olga Gisel Salgado, citing insufficient evidence to proceed. The shooter named in charging documents has not been identified in those filings and remains at large.

Did anyone in the Oakland community have information about Maynor’s movements or the people involved that night?
