Rutilio Salvador Vega, 33, was shot and killed on March 25, 2017, in Salinas, California. He and his cousin, Fidencio Torres-Vega, had been sitting and drinking in a driveway on Dennis Avenue, a few blocks south of Williams Road, when they were gunned down in what investigators described as a targeted attack.

Authorities tied the killings to a group described in the investigation as the murder squad, an organized cell associated with the Norteños gang that reportedly used coordinated attacks and multiple vehicles.

The prosecutions involved racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder and charges directly related to the homicides. This case was one of several violent incidents in Salinas during 2017 that drove a larger law enforcement response.
