Following months of pressure by family members and the media, the Salinas Police Department announced that Brian Johnson and Scott Sutton were the officers that shot and killed Frank Alvarado on July 10. They were named in a press release that also listed the officers involved in the killing of three other Latino residents in East Salinas in 2014. Frank Alvarado Sr., Frank's father, and sister Angelica Garza, spoke out at a press conference held at City Hall on October 1, stating that justice would be served, if not in Salinas, then at the Supreme Court. Alvarado Sr. asserted, "If they don't do it right here, it can go to the Supreme Court, and believe it or not, justice is going to get done."

Activist Margaret Serna Bonetti was satisfied the Salinas Police Department decided to finally release the names, but said the delay was never justifiable.
