KSBW-TV: PRUNEDALE, Calif. —
Witnesses say an 18-year-old Salinas man was shot and killed during a sideshow in Prunedale, had just taken part in the sideshow when he lost control and hit another car; that incident led to a deadly encounter.
“There is a car parked over there and there's a whole line of cars and he hit one of the cars over there. When he spun out and I don't know, we heard a lot of commotion and then we heard the shot and then people started running everywhere,” said Aaron Garcia who lives near the intersection of Prunedale Road and Blackie Road where the sideshow took place Saturday night.
The victim has been identified as Adrian Puga a graduate of North Salinas High.
Videos that capture the chaotic moments including part of the shooting have gone viral on social media.
They show a man carrying a rifle and then pointing it at Puga before the fatal shot is fired. And as Puga pleads for help, bystanders do little to help.
“In the video, the guy recorded like he asked the guy, 'Are you okay?' and then the guy just tells, 'No, I’ve been shot' like, 'Please help' and even with him asking, 'Are you okay?' He still just ran away after recording that. You could hear in the background him yelling 'Please help. I've been shot,' but nobody just really helped him,” said Garcia.
Sheriff's deputies say they need your help finding Puga's killer- and you could be holding that key piece of evidence.
“We want people to know that you may have video of this incident and you may think, they already have it, we don't have it, we still need it every single person that was out there videoing with their cell phone is a unique video that shows a different angle and a different perspective of what happened,” said Andy Rosas, spokesman for the Monterey county sheriff’s office.
If you have any information or video that can help identify the killer call the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office. They remind you, that you can choose to remain anonymous.
