The City of Salinas has a long history of violence and murder. From
the deaths of innocent children to the brutality of gang
executions, Salinas continues to be rocked by night and daytime
murders committed in all parts of town. Now considered one of the
gang hot spots in the U.S., Salinas has more than just gang related
homicides each year. Only a few of the stories in this book were
the result of gang activity. More often, homicides are committed by
family members or friends. The sometimes graphic and frightening
details of each of the cases in this book are told through the eyes
of the police detectives who worked the cases and the court files
and newspaper articles available.
Many of the murderers were caught and stood trial. Some were sent
to prison and others were found innocent. All had stories
compelling enough to warrant inclusion in this second history of
homicide cases in Salinas. It is hoped this book will remind the
citizens of Salinas of the many victims who go unremembered and
perhaps encourage those with information about current or unsolved
homicides to come forward.
In the four month period during which this book was written, there
were eight more murders in Salinas and dozens of shootings that
left victims injured. The damage to the community cannot be
overlooked as Salinas continues to struggle against a reputation of
violence that has been its legacy since 1903 when the first police
chief took office.
