According to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, on December 19, 2022, just before 7:00 pm, a truck driver was on break on the 29000 block of Spence Road in an unincorporated area of Salinas. The alert truck driver called 9-1-1 to report that a female was bleeding and laying on the ground. Fire and AMR arrived shortly after and the female was transported to Natividad Medical Center in Salinas for treatment. A short time later, Natividad Medical Center reported to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office that the female had suffered from a significant sexual assault and had severe injuries, including blood loss, which required surgery. Deputies responded to the scene and worked to preserve and collect evidence.

In the early morning hours of December 20, 2022, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division took over the investigation and secured the crime scene for further processing. During the course of the investigation, 43-year-old Jesus Uribe of Gonzales was contacted and became a person of interest in the violent assault.

Detectives worked throughout the following days collecting evidence, serving multiple search warrants, gathering surveillance video from surrounding businesses and interviewing several witnesses including the victim.  Detectives determined Uribe violently attacked and sexually assaulted the victim leaving her with life threatening injuries.

During the week of December 25 the Monterey County Sheriff's Office announced that Uribe was arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder, Kidnapping with Intent to Commit a Rape, Penetration with a Foreign Object and others. Uribe’s bail was set at $1,350,000.
