Rafael Cervantes Ortuno, 30, was fatally shot in Sacramento, California, on June 18, 2016, during a robbery.

Reyna was charged and later convicted of first-degree murder with a special circumstance that the killing occurred during a robbery or attempted robbery, and of being a felon in possession of a firearm. At trial the defense raised issues including judicial error and ineffective assistance of counsel, and disputes arose over admissibility of past criminal behavior and the suppression of statements; the conviction and a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for the special-circumstance murder were ultimately upheld.

If anyone knew Rafael, was present at the residence that day, or has information about the events of June 18, 2016, please come forward.
