Miguel Chavez Zavala was 18 when he was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the bleachers at the baseball field in Closter Park in Salinas on July 2, 2013. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. Witnesses reported seeing several people fleeing the scene, but investigators initially lacked enough information to make arrests.

The Salinas Police Department continued to seek leads, and the case remained unsolved for years. The Cold Case Unit later reviewed the investigation and the matter was presented to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office. No further details about new evidence have been released.

Did anyone who lived near Closter Park in 2013 or attended games there notice anything unusual that day?
