Brando Javier Lerma Noris, a 22-year-old Hispanic/Latino male, was killed in a burst of gunfire that turned a parking lot on Elkington Avenue in East Salinas into the scene of a triple homicide late on September 28, 2015, with his death recorded the next day, September 29. Police were sent to 726 Elkington Avenue about 9:30 p.m. after reports of shots fired and found Brando and Brianna Gossett dead inside a vehicle; a third victim, 17-year-old Bryan Hernandez, was found outside the car mortally wounded and later died at Natividad Medical Center. Investigators said all three victims had been shot multiple times.

Witnesses reported seeing two men in dark clothing running from the scene, and police said at least two suspects were being sought. Detectives said they believed the killings were gang related, and early reports described Brando and Brianna as having ties to Nevada while Bryan was from Salinas.

If anyone knew Brando or was in that neighborhood the night of September 28, 2015, does anyone have information about who the fleeing men might have been or what led to the ambush?
