Gunshots shattered a quiet Sunday night on Sixth Street. Hours later, a family got the call no parent ever wants to receive — and a killer is still walking free.
Sunday night started like any other in Banning, California. By 11 p.m., it had turned into a crime scene — and a 21-year-old young man was gone forever.
Officers from the Banning Police Department were dispatched to the intersection of Sixth Street and Ramsey Street late Sunday night after multiple reports of gunfire in the area. What they found when they arrived stopped them cold.
David Hernandez-Enriques, just 21 years old, was discovered at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on arrival. No hospital. No second chance. His life ended on a street corner before midnight.
As of now, police have not identified any suspects, named a motive, or made a single arrest in connection with the killing. The investigation is being treated as an active homicide case.
