On March 13, 2016, 43-year-old Marco Carmona-Gonzalez was found shot to death inside a residence in the Brookside Manor neighborhood of Goshen, Indiana, alongside 27-year-old Jose Nava-Orozco. Both men had been shot multiple times in what police described as a double homicide.

Marco’s family described him as a hardworking, humble man with no known enemies or criminal history; they were left mourning and arranged to return his body to Mexico for burial. Investigators pursued a possible gang-related motive and within a week charged 22-year-old Diego Armando Ramos and 19-year-old Luis Alberto Rivas with two counts of murder. Authorities cited cellphone searches, statements Ramos allegedly made to his mother, and matching bullet casings found at Ramos’s home and vehicle linking evidence to the scene.

In February 2017 a judge acquitted Diego Ramos at a bench trial, and Luis Rivas had the murder counts dismissed and pleaded guilty to two lesser assisting-a-criminal charges. Many questions remain about who was responsible and why. Does anyone have information about Marco, his movements, or who might have known about conflicts in Brookside Manor around March 2016?
