Sureno Gang Member Pleads Guilty to 2 Gang Murders Using a Firearm and will Receive 70 Years


SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on September 16 that 22-year-old Eliazar Arellano Ayron pled guilty to 2 counts of 1st degree murder while personally using a firearm for the benefit of the Sureno criminal street gang.
On December 26, 2021, Ayron, a Sureno criminal street gang member from King City and 3
other Sureno gang members, including Raul Lucas who in 2022 was sentenced to 58 Years to Life
on this case, drove to Sussex Way in King City where they ambushed the victims as they exited
their vehicle in front of their house. The victims were shot numerous times and killed. King City
street cameras captured the license plate of the vehicle involved in the murders. A search warrant
was served at a Salinas residence associated with the vehicle and one of the firearms used in the
murders was located. Ayron fled the jurisdiction after the murders, but a task force from numerous
jurisdictions assembled and successfully apprehended him 9 months later in a rural and remote
area in Groveland, California.
The Honorable Andrew G. Liu accepted Ayron’s guilty plea to the murders and will preside over
the sentencing on December 4, 2024. Ayron will receive 70 Years-to-Life in the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations for the two murders. Ayron’s conviction is
considered two strikes under California Three Strikes Laws. The case was investigated by
Detective Juan Rodriguez previously of the King City Police Department and now Monterey Police
Department along with King City Police Sergeants Joshue Partida, Anthony Shaw and John Dow
with the assistance of the Salinas Police Department, US Marshalls Fugitive Task Force and the
Monterey County District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation.
