On May 16, 1993, seven people were killed in a mass shooting at Carrillo’s Club, a bar on the outskirts of Fresno, California. The owner, Reyes Carrillo Sr., 45, was among the dead; other victims included his mother Rachel Carrillo and his half-brother Alfredo Carrillo, plus the club’s bouncer, the cook, the cook’s wife, and another employee. Two women were wounded and a security guard was mauled by a guard dog while seeking help.

Investigators initially focused on two men who had been ejected from the bar on consecutive nights, but both were later cleared when records showed they were in jail during the killings. In 1998 Johnnie Malarkey, already serving a 25-year sentence, confessed and admitted to fatally shooting the seven victims during a robbery; prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty and Malarkey received multiple consecutive life terms without parole. The second gunman was believed to be Allen Heflin, who later died by suicide.

Are there witnesses, patrons, or family members who can add details about the nights leading up to the massacre or about Carrillo’s Club itself?
