Sheriff asks Gavin Newsom to lift death penalty ban for Goshen massacre. Arrest may be close

FRESNO, Calif. — Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux gave a brief update Monday on the investigation into the cartel-style massacre of six people in Goshen, including a 16-year-old mother and her 10-month-old baby.

He took no questions following the news conference of less than seven minutes, but noted the reward money in the Jan. 16 mass shooting had risen before he asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to lift the moratorium on capital punishment in the state for special circumstances.

“I would like him to lift the ban on the death penalty in cases where small children are murdered,” he said. “This should be a death penalty case.”
