The Tracy Police Department is seeking information about the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old former Granada High School student, according to a statement from the agency on social media.
Last Friday evening, Tracy officers responded to a report of a vehicle collision in a rural area of town on Sugar Road between Tracy Boulevard and Holly Drive.
Upon their arrival, police said they found a male inside a vehicle who had been shot several times. He was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.
The victim was identified as David Cantero Valdez, who was living in Tracy but previously attended school in Livermore.
Tracy PD officials said the investigation into Cantero Valdez’s death is ongoing, and anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the department.
In the days following Cantero Valdez’s death, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support his family. At the time of writing, the fundraiser had reached nearly $12,000 of its $15,000 goal. Anyone with information about this case may contact Cpl. Ken Steele at Kenneth.Steele@TracyPD.com or 209-831-6660.
