Two Arrested in Salinas Gang-Linked Double Homicide

On Sept. 19, a triple shooting on the 300 block of Cross Avenue in Salinas killed 20-year-old Jesus Rosales and 17-year-old Edgar Gomez and wounded another 17-year-old who was hospitalized and expected to recover. Salinas detectives and the Violence Suppression Task Force arrested 18-year-old Marwuy Camacho on Sept. 24 in a parking lot on East Alisal Street and booked him on suspicion of two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide and gang enhancements. A second 18-year-old, Angel Cabrera, was arrested with assistance from Modesto police and identified as the driver of the suspect vehicle; he was booked on murder, attempted murder and gang-related charges. Police say the shooting is linked to gang activity and credited neighborhood surveillance, community tips and a ShotSpotter activation in identifying suspects, and they urged anyone with information to contact Salinas Police at 831-758-7321 as the investigation continues.
