On July 6, 2019, 5-year-old Alberto Rios Navarrette of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was struck by a stray bullet while playing inside his family’s apartment at the Cole Ridge Circle complex. The projectile came through the apartment wall and hit him in the head; he was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, underwent emergency surgery, and died later that evening.

Investigators determined the shots came from a drive-by. Witnesses described a silver car with several teenagers firing handguns as it drove through the area. Multiple rounds hit Alberto’s apartment, two other apartments and an unoccupied vehicle; shell casings were recovered. Police say there was no evidence Alberto’s family was specifically targeted.

The Winston-Salem Police Department, assisted by the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested four teenagers in connection with the shooting. Charged with murder were 17-year-old Santiago Rodriguez-Marcial, 17-year-old Oscar Mendez-Rodriguez and two juveniles, 14 and 15. A car and a .38 caliber handgun were recovered at an apartment in Winston-Salem.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the silver car that evening or know who the occupants might have been?
