Raymond Serna Sevilla was 17 and living in Dos Palos when he was fatally shot in Los Banos on December 7, 2014. Born November 5, 1997, in Merced, he was the son of Miguel Angel and Elizabeth (Sevilla) Serna. The death was ruled a homicide and prompted an immediate investigation.

Two suspects were arrested: Diego Leal, 18, and Fabian Cruz Roman, 16. Both were charged with Raymond’s murder and were tried as adults; they pleaded not guilty. Court hearings brought forward evidence and witness testimony about the events that night as the prosecution worked to establish the suspects’ involvement.

The shooting and the subsequent trial deeply affected Raymond’s family and the Los Banos community, which attended court sessions and organized vigils in his memory. Does anyone have information about Raymond, his movements that night, or witnesses who were present?
