On March 3, 2024, a mass shooting at a birthday gathering on the 200 block of North Second Street in King City, California, left four people dead and several others wounded. Among those killed was 32-year-old Alicia Ramírez Aparicio, who was celebrating her birthday that evening. Three masked gunmen in dark clothing arrived in a stolen silver Kia, exited the vehicle, and opened fire on attendees gathered in the front yard around 6 p.m.

Aparicio was a mother of four and worked as a medical assistant at Mee Memorial Hospital. Other fatalities were 42-year-old Mario Guzman Mendoza and 32-year-olds Francisco Aldape Perez and Olivo Perez Pina, all from King City. Seven additional people were injured; two were reported in critical condition. Alicia’s sister Carolina Ramirez, 26, was among the wounded and was reported to be in a coma. Her mother Felipa Ramirez and the rest of the family have been described as devastated by the loss.

Law enforcement launched an intensive investigation and community members held vigils and memorials for the victims. Does anyone have information about Alicia’s life in King City or about the events that night that could help fill in missing details?
