Gregory Anthony Pimentel, 35, was found dead in Modesto, California, on the night of July 24, 2016. Born June 29, 1981, in Chicago, he grew up in Patterson, California, graduated from Patterson High School in 1999 and served in the U.S. Army from 2000 to 2006. After his service he trained and worked as a surgical technician and was an avid motocross rider who earned more than 30 trophies.

Investigators determined Pimentel’s death resulted from a violent assault and classified it as a homicide. The Modesto Police Department conducted interviews and pursued multiple leads but did not announce any arrests immediately after the killing. Periodic updates and appeals for witnesses followed, yet the case remained unsolved as of the latest information.

Family and friends have held memorials and publicized the case to keep attention on the investigation. Anyone with information about Gregory, his movements that night, or potential witnesses is asked to come forward.
