Kendra Gonzales was 33 when she was shot and killed on April 7, 2015, while sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked car on South Bascom Avenue in San Jose. She had driven to San Jose from Sacramento after renting a car for a shopping trip with her boyfriend, Andrew Butler, and two of her three children. An argument between Gonzales and Butler escalated; Butler, who was in the passenger seat, pulled out a gun and shot her in the chest. Her body was pulled from the car and left in the street while her two children stood nearby.

Gonzales’ teenage daughter and infant son were in the backseat. The rental car was recovered abandoned in Salinas, about 60 miles from the scene. Butler, described as having ties to Sacramento and Monterey County and considered armed and dangerous, was arrested by Monterey police five days later and booked on murder charges with a firearm enhancement; prosecutors characterized the killing as an act of domestic violence. Her father, Kenneth Knight, and sister, Nicole Singleton, spoke about the family’s grief and the relief they felt after Butler’s arrest.

Did anyone in the San Jose or Salinas area see the rental car that night or have information about Butler’s movements between the two cities?
