Michael Kelly, a 20-year-old from San Pablo, California, was shot to death on May 10, 2014, about 9:20 p.m. outside a residence on the 1300 block of Stanton Avenue. Witnesses said a dark-colored SUV pulled up, a window rolled down, and a shooter fired several bullets, striking Kelly multiple times.

Investigators concluded the killing was gang-related. Prosecutors charged Alexis Herrera and Juan Cortez with murder and gang enhancements, alleging the motive included derogatory comments Kelly made about a friend of theirs who had been killed earlier in 2014 and that Kelly had previously provided police with information implicating Herrera in a burglary. A third defendant initially confessed to driving a stolen car used in the shooting, but a Contra Costa judge later ruled that confession involuntary and inadmissible because it had been obtained under a promise of leniency by San Pablo police Sgt. Shawn Ray, and those charges were dismissed.

Video evidence showed Kelly making threatening comments about Herrera and Cortez using their nicknames, and authorities reported Cortez was seen minutes before the shooting driving by in a different car and was suspected of giving the SUV’s driver and Herrera a ride after they abandoned the stolen vehicle. Does anyone have information about Kelly, the vehicles, or the people involved that could shed more light on what happened that night?
