Salvador Enrique Medina Chaves, 36, was killed on April 6, 2015, in Winton, California, during a violent confrontation that involved multiple people and exchanged gunfire. There is a specific connection drawn to Norteno gang activity: the shooting was said to have been set up by Norteno members.

Two 23-year-olds, Jose Hernandez and David Zamora, were found guilty by a Merced County jury of two counts of murder for their roles. Wiretap evidence from an operation called Operation Red Right Hand — conducted by the California Department of Justice and local agencies — recorded discussions that implicated Hernandez and David Zamora; on the day of the killings they and their younger brothers traveled to Winton intending to kill a rival. Hernandez and David Zamora acted as lookouts and getaway drivers while their younger brothers, armed with loaded guns, confronted Medina. Wiretap recordings also captured attempts to destroy evidence after the shootings. Both convicted men faced life terms without the possibility of parole.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall the events in Winton on April 6, 2015, or who knew Medina Enrique Medina Chaves and can add details about him?
