Jesus Villegas Mendoza, a 23-year-old minister at Centro Apostolica Church in Stockton, California, was struck by a stray bullet on May 6, 2014, while driving home on East Main Street near Sharon Avenue. The bullet pierced his windshield, critically wounding him; he was taken to UC Davis Medical Center and died the following day. Mendoza was known for work with children and community missions and left a wife and a young child.

Stockton police said Mendoza was not the intended target. Surveillance footage showed several people involved in the shooting, but identifying and apprehending those responsible proved difficult. In the days after the shooting authorities obtained a no-bail felony homicide warrant for a 17-year-old named Keith Denegal Jr., described as armed and dangerous. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the people seen on the surveillance footage?
