Terelle Swearengin, 25, of Sacramento was shot on June 12, 2017, on Sutter Avenue in Modesto and died after being taken to the hospital. Police responded about 4:30 p.m.; another man, 22 and from Modesto, was also shot and survived after treatment. Reports say Swearengin and the other victim were walking south on Sutter Avenue with two other men when someone in a vehicle opened fire in a drive-by shooting.

Modesto police executed multiple search warrants in the days after the shooting and arrested three people: Marcus White, 19, and two 17-year-old boys. They were charged in connection with Swearengin’s murder and the attempted murder of the surviving victim. The case underscored local concerns about gun violence in the community.

If anyone saw the group walking on Sutter Avenue that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
