Man killed by gunfire in Kings County identified

The Kings County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting death of David Aguiniga, 25, Wednesday night in the South Valley.

Sheriff’s spokesman Mark Bevens said Aguiniga was found shot several times around 8:20 p.m. at a home on Alvin Street and Allen Way in the community of Armona, between Hanford and Lemoore

Soon after deputies arrived, he was taken to Adventist Health Hanford hospital, where he later died.

Bevens said Aguiniga does not live at the home where he was found shot, and was likely visiting. He said suspect information was still unclear, and investigators would continue searching for clues.

The case is believed to be gang-related, but the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call detective Jessica Machado at 559-852-2828.
