Constantino Garcia, 23, was shot multiple times and killed on the evening of May 21, 2014, near Mae Avenue and Del Monte Avenue in East Salinas. He was standing outside his home when violence erupted during a protest and riot responding to a series of recent police shootings. Paramedics and officers attempted CPR at the scene, but demonstrators threw bottles, bricks, rocks and other heavy objects, one bottle striking an officer’s head while he was performing CPR. Garcia was later transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say about 100 people were present but no one came forward to identify the shooter; there were no suspects or arrests reported. The killing occurred amid intense mistrust between many residents and police after several officer-involved shootings, a tense atmosphere that evening that interfered with emergency aid.

Does anyone who was in East Salinas that night have information about what happened at Mae and Del Monte Avenues?
