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.
