John David Noonan, 41, was shot to death on January 23, 2020, in the parking lot of a Motel 6 on Manzanita Drive in Chico, California. An argument followed when he arrived and two gunshots were fired from the back seat of a car, striking Noonan.

The shooting was carried out by Eric Allen, who was seated in the rear of the vehicle driven by Justin Cozakas, with Ruggiero in the front passenger seat. The reported motive was Noonan’s theft of drugs and money from Ruggiero, which prompted her to hire Cozakas and Allen to retrieve the items or seek revenge. The three suspects fled the scene and Noonan died in the parking lot.

Chico police detectives arrested the involved parties in February 2020. What information do readers have about John David Noonan’s movements or contacts in the days before January 23, 2020?
