Ricardo Guerrero was 17 and from Sacramento, California, when he was found dead on November 24, 2013. Initial reports described his death as not accidental, and authorities treated the case as a potential homicide. Investigators conducted interviews and collected evidence at the scene but faced obstacles including a lack of eyewitnesses and limited concrete leads.

Over time the investigation produced arrests and suspects and involved the district attorney’s office as prosecutors and defense attorneys filed multiple motions and court hearings over evidence and witness issues. Ricardo’s family has been active in outreach and in pushing for continued attention to the case. The investigation remains unresolved and the circumstances that led to his death have not been definitively closed.

If anyone in Sacramento at the time has information about Ricardo or the events of November 24, 2013, please share what you know.
