Francisco Avalos Jr., 22, was one of two young men shot to death inside a home near the Port of Stockton on March 31, 2018. The other victim was 20-year-old Richard Gonzalez. The house was left riddled with bullet holes; family and friends later placed candles and balloons at the scene.

Both victims were identified by the San Joaquin County Coroner’s Office. Avalos was remembered as a father and a good person; Gonzalez had survived a previous shooting just weeks earlier. Stockton police said they canvassed the area and reviewed surveillance footage but did not immediately identify suspects or motives, and there were no arrests reported.

The double homicide remains open and investigators asked anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew Francisco Avalos Jr. or Richard Gonzalez, or saw anything near the Port of Stockton on March 31, 2018, please share what might help the investigation.
