He was arrested and booked for murder and criminal conspiracy in connection with the Nov. 26, 2011 shooting death of Samuel Gallardo, 22. The victim was shot in the parking lot of El Paraiso Bar at 1500 Crows Landing Road after midnight. Gallardo died after being rushed to a hospital.

On June 18 deputies arrested a second suspect, Jorge Delatorre, 26, at his home in the 400 block of Harriet Drive in Waterford. Delatorre was booked for murder, criminal conspiracy, and participation in a criminal street gang.
