Elijah Eli Ascenio, 20, and his younger brother Jeremiah Lil JJ Ascenio, 17, were killed in a double shooting on March 7, 2018, in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant at Old Lake Drive and Sunny Mead Ranch Parkway in Moreno Valley, California. The brothers were found shot near their silver Nissan sedan; witnesses heard multiple gunshots and saw one victim try to run toward the restaurant before collapsing near the entrance. A makeshift memorial of candles, flowers and messages was left at the scene.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’S Central Homicide Unit led the investigation and determined the attack was a drive-by shooting. By September 2018, authorities arrested three suspects in connection with the murders: two 16-year-old boys and an 18-year-old man from Moreno Valley. The juveniles were booked into Juvenile Hall and the adult was placed in adult jail on suspicion of murder. Investigators asked anyone with additional information to come forward.

What can readers add about Elijah and Jeremiah, or about that parking-lot shooting, that might help fill gaps in the timeline or the investigation?
