Gonzalo Urquieta, 54, of Earlimart, California, was found dead in an orange grove just outside Richgrove on February 7, 2011. He had been missing since February 5. His death was the result of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators linked Urquieta’s murder to Jose Manuel Martinez, also known as El Mano Negra, a contract killer tied to Mexican drug cartels. Martinez was charged in California with multiple counts including nine murders and one attempted murder, with special circumstance allegations such as multiple murders, lying in wait, kidnapping, and murder for financial gain. Urquieta was named among the victims in that indictment.

Martinez confessed to killing dozens while acting as an enforcer for cartels and was convicted in California, receiving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Does anyone have information about Urquieta’s movements in the days before he disappeared or about the orange grove area where his body was found?
