Jose Refugio Alvarez Jr., 35, was shot and killed on April 22, 2016, on Elm Avenue near El Camino Real in Greenfield, California. Two people were shot that evening; Alvarez Jr. died at the scene. The Greenfield Police Department initially responded and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office took over the investigation.

Investigators identified a suspect, D’Andre Giovanni English, then 22, who was alleged to have fired multiple shots from a white Hyundai Sonata, striking Alvarez Jr. while he was in his vehicle. Authorities said the shooting was gang-related and motivated by Alvarez Jr. having left the gang. English was arrested in Wisconsin by U.S. Marshals and extradited to Monterey County. He later pleaded no contest to second-degree murder with gang and gun allegations and was sentenced to 18 years to life, with eligibility for parole only after serving at least 18 years.

Does anyone have information about Alvarez Jr., his activities in Greenfield, or the events on Elm Avenue that night?
