Mario Gendoes was 18 when he was found shot to death on the evening of May 6, 2014, in the 600 block of Portland Avenue in Pueblo, Colorado. His mother, Theresa Saldana, described the following months as agonizing and uncertain while the investigation produced no immediate arrests.

Nearly a year later, in late March 2015, Pueblo Police announced arrests in the case: 31-year-old Anthony Montoya and 50-year-old James Montoya were taken into custody in the 2600 block of Oakland Avenue and were charged with first-degree murder in connection with Mario’s death. Authorities said the suspects were also implicated in a separate shooting that injured a man in the leg on the day they were arrested.

Mario’s girlfriend at the time, Felecita Montoya, said he had been heading to her house to talk after a fight but never arrived. Both women said they had suspected the involvement of the two men; the relationship between Mario and the suspects was not elaborated as the court case proceeded. Does anyone have information about Mario, his movements that night, or his connection to the Montoyas?
