The initial investigation indicated on December 10, 2012 at approximately 1:19 a.m. the victim, KENNETH M.

A few minutes before the reported crash, Salem police was responding to a reported incident in the 1800 block of Torrance Street S. where an adult female reported SHIRLEY NUNEZ, armed with a handgun, came to the residence. SHIRLEY NUNEZ allegedly entered the residence through a rear sliding glass door, pointed the handgun at the woman and briefly confronted her about a suspected relationship involving the woman and KENNETH NUNEZ before leaving in the pickup.
