Benito David Aguirre Jr. was 16 and from Merced, California when he was shot and killed in the parking lot of Tenaya Middle School on the evening of February 15, 2015. Known as Baby Lover, Benito enjoyed skateboarding, fishing and spending time with family and friends; his family described him as a vibrant young man with a promising future.

Police said the shooting stemmed from jealousy over a girl and that Benito had gone to the school to meet someone when a confrontation led to the fatal gunfire. Merced police arrested 20-year-old Franco Ortiz as the driver and a 17-year-old juvenile identified as the shooter; the juveniles name was withheld because of age. Authorities had prior contact with both suspects, and murder charges were filed.

Does anyone who knew Benito or was in that area on February 15, 2015 have information that could shed more light on what happened?
