A late-night argument in a Salem strip mall parking lot ended in deadly gunfire on June 18, 2017, when 26-year-old Hispanic male Hector Martinez-Arroyo was killed. Witnesses reported a dispute among a group of men near two parked vehicles outside a pool hall, and multiple gunshots were heard. A resident across the strip mall saw flashes of gunfire and watched the shooter drop a weapon and walk away into the neighborhood after another round was fired.

Both Martinez-Arroyo and 50-year-old Carlos Zepeda-Ponce were found with fatal gunshot wounds; one victim had been shot in the face. A private security guard followed the suspect until police arrested 35-year-old Marcelino Osorio-Jiminez, who was charged with two counts of murder. The motive for the confrontation has not been made clear.

If anyone witnessed the argument that night or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what you know.
