Manuel Gonzalez was 26 and a Visalia, California resident when he was shot in the head by unknown assailants who entered his home on March 5, 2015. The shooting happened in the 2000 block of North Jacob Court; Gonzalez was shot at close range and died a few days later despite medical care. Family remembered him as kind-hearted, passionate about soccer, and devoted to his family; he had chosen to be an organ donor, and his donations saved multiple lives.

Investigators said an altercation occurred inside the home before the shooting. Neighbors reported seeing two men acting suspiciously near the scene, but no immediate suspects were identified at the time. Later developments in the investigation led to an indictment of Pedro Sanchez on multiple felony counts, including five counts of first-degree murder with gang enhancements tied to a broader Operation Red Sol effort. The District Attorney announced an intention to seek the death penalty against Sanchez.

If anyone has information about the March 5, 2015 incident or saw suspicious activity in the 2000 block of North Jacob Court, please come forward.
