Xavier Elsumeri was 21 when he was shot and killed on his birthday, September 8, 2016, on the 1900 block of East Myrtle Street in Stockton. He was sitting in his car in the early evening when a GMC pickup passed, made a U-turn, and a man in a silver Dodge Ram exited and fired multiple rounds into the vehicle. Xavier was struck in the head and died at the hospital later that night.

Investigators recovered more than 20 shell casings; the car’s windshield was riddled with bullet holes and the rear driver’s side window was shattered. Xavier worked as a barber at Enrique’s Hair Studio and was remembered for giving free haircuts to neighborhood children and victims of violent crime. No arrests had been announced and the suspect remained at large. Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that evening have information that could help identify the shooter?
