On April 22, 2009, 18-year-old Able Silva was shot and killed while playing video games with four other teenagers in the garage of a King City, California house. The attack also killed 13-year-old Alex Cortes. Witnesses said three or four assailants approached the home, fired six to eight shots into the garage, then fled in a van that may have been green.

Investigators from the King City Police, Monterey County and San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s departments, and the Monterey County Joint Gang Task Force have pursued leads. Authorities say the shooters were likely gang members, but the motive remains unclear. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved; a reward has been offered by the National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Anyone who knew Able or Alex, was in that neighborhood on April 22, 2009, or has information about the shooting or the getaway van is asked to come forward.
