Arturo Noel 2D Cantu, a 24-year-old Hispanic man from Corpus Christi, was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the 1500 block of Casa de Oro Drive on April 30, 2018. Witnesses reported seeing two men in the area, one in all black and one in khaki pants, and heard gunfire before finding Cantu on the ground. Police located a tan Buick with fresh blood on the passenger side near the scene.

Officers found 25-year-old Juan Saldana in the backyard of a nearby residence; witnesses had allegedly seen him fleeing. Three firearms matching the caliber of casings found around Cantu’s body were recovered hidden under a shed. Saldana was arrested and held on $750,000 bail, but a Nueces County grand jury later declined to indict him, citing insufficient evidence.

No one has been formally charged in Cantu’s killing and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Arturo, the two men witnesses described, or the events that night?
