COALINGA, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — Two suspects are behind bars for a shooting that killed a 16-year-old boy in Coalinga earlier this year.
Coalinga police say 16-year-old Julian Andrade was shot and killed around 9 pm on April 16th at a home on Houston Street near Louisiana.
On Tuesday, the Coalinga Police Department announced that 18-year-old Nicholas Banales and 20-year-old Damian Aguilera were arrested for the shooting.
Banales was arrested and booked into the Fresno County jail on a charge of murder.
Officials say Aguilera, who was already in jail for unrelated reasons, is now facing a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
The motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
