Jose Mireles, 34, of Merced, California, was shot and killed outside his apartment on April 28, 2017, following an argument that escalated into a confrontation. The shooting occurred in front of Mireles’ young children. The suspect was a 16-year-old who later turned himself in.

Merced prosecutors have sought to try the juvenile as an adult, arguing the crime’s severity and asserting premeditation in the lead-up to the shooting. Investigators say witnesses and evidence have been important in reconstructing events and building the case.
