Ariana Zendejas was 19 when she was killed in a Hollister, California, shooting on August 1, 2014. The shooting occurred during a high-speed chase through town after a prior feud involving Jose Antonio Barajas. Barajas, riding as a passenger, leaned out and fired a handgun into the car he was pursuing. One bullet struck Zendejas in the back seat; she died later that evening at Hazel Hawkins Hospital.

Barajas fled the scene and left the country, evading capture for several years before being located and returned to the United States. The loss of a young life struck the Hollister community and left family members grieving.

Did anyone in Hollister remember the chase or see the vehicles involved that night?
