Steve Bueno was 17 and a student at North Salinas High School when he was shot on October 27, 2011. He and a friend, Xavier Zepeda, were in a garage on the 1700 block of Klamath Drive in Salinas, California, giving each other haircuts when an unknown gunman entered and opened fire. Steve was shot in the head and died the following day; Xavier was shot in the leg and survived.

Police said the shooting was not gang-related. Witnesses reported the shooter fled in a gold Honda with a loud exhaust system, but no arrests were announced immediately after the attack. The case produced leads and tips over time, yet the shooter had not been identified and the motive remained unclear.

If anyone knew Steve, Xavier, or saw a gold Honda near Klamath Drive on October 27, 2011, please share what you know with investigators.
