Police say 24-year-old Juan Gutierrez and 21-year-old Kenneth Vazquez face murder and other charges in connection with the shooting Saturday evening that left 37-year-old Juan Mendez dead.

Officers responded to the Lincoln Village Apartments on Country Club Boulevard for a report of an assault with a dangerous weapon.
