Fidencio Torres Vega was 31 and a Salinas, California resident when he was shot and killed on March 25, 2017. Born June 24, 1985, in Juxtlahuaca, Oaxaca, Mexico, he was with his cousin Rutilio Salvador Vega in a driveway on Dennis Avenue when both men were gunned down. Their killings were later tied to a group described as the murder squad, which carried out a series of coordinated, gang-related attacks in Salinas during 2017.

Investigators linked the squad to at least eight homicides and other violent crimes that year, noting its use of multiple vehicles and assigned roles such as lookouts and gunmen. Arrests of alleged key members, including Ryan Meza and Joseph Garcia, were reported as part of the effort to dismantle the group and pursue racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder, and murder-related charges.

If anyone knew Fidencio, his movements that day, or has information about the attack on Dennis Avenue, please come forward.
