Armando Ulloa, 25, was walking home on North Vanderhurst Avenue in King City around 9 p.m. on March 1, 2010, when three men approached and shot him multiple times. He was taken to Mee Memorial Hospital and later died of his injuries. Authorities determined the killing was gang-related.

An 18-year-old from Soledad, Pedro Perez, was charged with first-degree murder in the case; he was 17 at the time of the shooting and was charged as an adult. Perez also faced street terrorism charges and sentencing enhancements alleging he benefited the Norteño street gang and personally used a firearm. Another man, Paul Duran Jr., was implicated and later pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit attempted murder; his plea was filed under seal and he was released on his own recognizance pending sentencing.

The slaying was one of four homicides in King City that year and intensified public concern about gang violence and calls for an audit of the police department. Did anyone in King City or surrounding areas have information about Ulloa’s movements that night or about the three men seen on North Vanderhurst Avenue?
