Diego Romero Gonzalez, 25, of King City, California, was shot multiple times at 402 7th Street on September 2, 2012 and was pronounced dead after being taken to Mee Memorial Hospital. A friend, 19-year-old Anthony Navarro, was wounded in the same attack and survived.

Investigators described the shooting as gang-related and identified Gonzalez as an active member of a southern Hispanic gang, a factor the police said likely played into the motive. Six days after the shooting, 22-year-old Juan Serrano Jimenez of King City was arrested on suspicion of murdering Gonzalez and attempting to murder Navarro, and authorities moved forward with a prosecution that included witness testimony and forensic evidence.

Diego’s death was a sharp reminder to the King City community of the toll of gang violence. If anyone knew Diego, Anthony, or saw activity around 402 7th Street on September 2, 2012, please share what was seen with investigators.
