Salinas Man Slain In Saturday Evening Shooting
SALINAS (CBS SF) -- Police have identified a man shot and killed Saturday in Salinas as Heron Moran, 34.
Officers responded at 6:53 p.m. to 1036 N. Sanborn Road on a call of shots fired and a man down, police said.
Police said they saw several people trying to drag Moran's body into his apartment, but the people ran away when they saw officers arriving.
Moran was transported to an area hospital, where he died.
Police said the people trying to remove Moran's body were known gang members.
