CERES, Calif. — A family is calling for justice after their loved one was killed in a home invasion this September in Stanislaus County.
The break-in was reported at 6 a.m. in the 2600 block of Gondring Road in the city of Ceres on Sept. 27, 2022, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies who responded found a man identified as 22-year-old Christian Sanchez with serious injuries. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died.
Sanchez's family shared surveillance video with KCRA 3 from that morning which shows the moments a group of suspects carrying guns forced Sanchez back into the home.
In the video the suspects can be heard asking Sanchez his name and if there were kids in the home.
According to the initial report for the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office sometime during a fight between the intruders and the residents Sanchez was shot. The home invaders fled immediately afterward.
