Roberta Lynn Cuatita Nunez, 39, was one of five people killed in an execution-style attack at Pato’s Place, a small bar on West Prosperity Avenue in Tulare, California, on July 18, 1995. Three men wearing ski masks and armed with shotguns entered the bar, demanded money and shot the victims at point-blank range. The surviving bar owner, Guadalupe Cantu, was critically wounded and called 911 but could provide only a vague description of the attackers. Investigators described the crime scene as horrific, with extensive blood that hampered the initial response.

The case proved unusually difficult and remained unsolved for nearly four years. A later investigation implicated Donald and Timothy Young; they were brought to trial, convicted and sentenced for their roles in the massacre. The Pato’s Place killings devastated the community and ended the lives of several hardworking people who happened to be in the bar that night.

Did anyone who knew Roberta or was in Tulare then have memories or information about Pato’s Place that might shed light on the victims or that night?
