Robert Morgan, 31, was fatally shot on January 15, 2023, outside the Grand Cru bar in downtown Turlock. Morgan worked as an off-duty security guard at the establishment and had intervened in a physical altercation that began inside the bar and continued outside. During the confrontation someone stepped out of a dark-colored sedan and fired multiple shots at Morgan before fleeing the scene.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Alejandro Rosales-Ortuno of Los Banos as the primary suspect. On March 1, 2023, Rosales-Ortuno was taken into custody during a traffic stop in Los Banos with assistance from the Los Banos Police Department and was booked into the Stanislaus County Jail on a no-bail homicide warrant.

Anyone who saw the altercation outside the Grand Cru that night or who has information about the dark-colored sedan or its occupants is asked to come forward.
