Israel Trevino II and Izzy Trevino III got in an argument with another man in Parlier, California Sunday afternoon. The man shot the father and son multiple times. 57-year-old Israel died at the scene and 33-year-old Izzy is in critical but stable condition.

“I don’t know why anybody would want to do something like this,” Trevino family friend Jesse Spindola told KFSN-TV. “These two, father and son, very tight knit family and they’re not violent people at all.”

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Department arrested Joe Gomez Jr. after he fled the scene. Gomez was booked into the Fresno County Jail on felony charges of murder and attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and making criminal threats. His bail is $1.54 million.

The Trevino family are three generations of Conjunto musicians forming Los Hooligans in 2011 releasing a debut album the same year. The group were planning to release a new album this year with another album in the works.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the Trevino family.
