ATWATER, Calif. (KTNV) — California authorities are looking for information on homicide suspects who they say have ties to Las Vegas.
The Merced County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a shooting in July 2022 outside of Atwater in central California.
According to 911 calls, suspects fired multiple shots from a vehicle towards four occupants of another vehicle. The shooting killed two men: Ruben Coronado, 23, and Eli Correa, 24. A woman was also critically injured.
The sheriff's office said the suspects are still at large, but they have surveillance video connecting a silver 2020 Mazda CX-9 SUV to the shooting. Investigators said they believe the vehicle and the suspects have ties to Las Vegas.

that could help move this case forward," said a spokesperson for the sheriff's office. "Even the smallest detail could prove important."
