On March 2, 2025, at approximately 2:18 a.m., the Brawley Police Department responded to a reported shooting near East K Street and South 17th Street that David Mora-Barraza, 21, had been shot. Barraza sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and was later pronounced deceased at Pioneers Memorial Hospital.
