Friends and family members of an 18-year-old Merced High senior who was shot to death early Sunday say they're in a state of shock over the killing.
Meanwhile, Merced police said they're continuing their search for suspects, and looking into whether some of the victim's final Facebook posts could shed light on the killing. Police say a passerby found Andrew Flores' body around 5:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of Pacific Drive in North Merced. Police say they believe Flores was shot sometime around 1 or 2 a.m. in the same area where the body was found, Sgt. Scott Skinner said.
