Modesto CA – On November 26, 2011, just after midnight, deputies responded to a shooting in the parking lot of El Paraiso Bar located at 1500 Crows Landing Road in Modesto, CA.

Over the last six years detectives have continued to follow investigative leads and they were able to identify 26- year-old Jorge Delatorre, 28-year-old Hector Mendoza, 24-year-old Tony Macias and 27-year-old Tomas Solorio as suspects. Detectives obtained arrest warrants for all four suspects based off information they developed in their investigation.
On 06-18-17 at about 3:00 p.m., deputies found Jorge Delatorre at his residence in the 400 Block of Harriet Drive in Waterford. Delatorre was arrested for murder, criminal conspiracy, and participation in a criminal street gang.
