Cesareo Meza Ruiz, 47 and a Salinas resident, was shot multiple times near North Hebbron and East Streets on October 1, 2015. He was transported to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. The killing was recorded as the city’s 28th homicide for 2015.

Witnesses reported seeing two people in dark clothing running from the scene shortly after the shooting. Investigators from the Salinas Police Department pursued leads, but no arrests were made and many potential witnesses were unwilling or afraid to come forward. Detectives kept the investigation active in the months after the slaying as community concern about rising violence grew.

Who remembers that intersection or saw anyone leaving the area around the time of the shooting and can help piece together what happened?
