Carlos Cetina, a 24-year-old resident of Hayward, California, was killed on June 5, 2014, at the Budget Inn on Foothill Boulevard in Hayward. The death followed an altercation with another man identified as Cruz; the argument reportedly concerned Cetina’s tattoos and both men were under the influence of methamphetamine during the confrontation. Cruz shot Cetina, who died at the scene.

Police later tracked Cruz to Las Vegas and arrested him; he was charged with Cetina’s murder. The case was notable locally for the role that drug use and a personal dispute played in transforming a confrontation into a fatal shooting.

Does anyone have information about Cetina’s movements that day or about the motel incident that could help clarify what led up to the shooting?
