Gustavo Pinal, a 33-year-old resident of San Jose, California, was killed on November 13, 2016. His body was found in the front yard of a home on Peppermint Drive near Lake Cunningham; first responders were initially told he had been stabbed but investigators determined he had been shot. Police were called about 1:05 PM and described the death as San Jose’s 44th homicide of the year.

In the weeks after the shooting two men were arrested in connection with the case. Manuel Ortega Sandoval, 35, and Manuel Corral, 34, both San Jose residents, were taken into custody in mid-December 2016; Corral was arrested December 15 in Gilroy and Sandoval a few days later in San Jose. Both were booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of murder and held without bail as the Homicide Unit continued its investigation.

Does anyone have information about Pinal, his movements that day, or eyewitness accounts from Peppermint Drive on November 13, 2016?
