Salvador Anthony Fuentes, 26, was shot to death on December 25, 2017, in the 2900 block of Clark Road in Oroville, California. Deputies and detectives from the Butte County Sheriff’s Office found his body with multiple gunshot wounds and classified the death as a homicide.

Investigators early on identified Johnny Ray Cabrera, then 34 and a Chico resident, as a primary suspect. The case was investigated by the Butte County Sheriff’s Office with later participation from the Chico Police Department’s Violence Suppression Unit, the FBI’s Chico Office, and the Butte County District Attorney’s Office. An alibi originally given by Cabrera’s then-girlfriend and her mother was later recanted; they said the alibi was false and that Cabrera had confessed to shooting Fuentes, claiming self-defense. An arrest warrant was issued in May 2021; Cabrera was interviewed in prison and was charged with Fuentes’ murder on July 16, 2021.

Does anyone have information about Salvador Fuentes, his activities in Oroville, or the events on Clark Road that evening?
