Two teenagers were killed and a third wounded in a late-night shooting on the 300 block of Cross Avenue in Salinas. Edgar Gomez, 17, and 20-year-old Jesus Guido Rosales were pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded around 11 p.m. on September 19, 2025, to a ShotSpotter alert and multiple 911 calls. A second 17-year-old male sustained a gunshot wound to the leg and was expected to recover.

Investigators say the shooting occurred outside a home following a brief exchange of words and that evidence suggested a gang motive. Within the week authorities arrested 18-year-old Marwuy Camacho, who police allege was the gunman, on September 24; he was booked on two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and gang enhancements. Days later an 18-year-old, Angel Cabrera, was arrested in Modesto and returned to Monterey County on homicide, attempted homicide and gang-related charges; both suspects had bail set at $14,230,000. Detectives cited surveillance video and community tips and said they were pursuing additional leads and any others who might have been involved.
