Local men James “Flacco” Stancampiano and Emmanuel “Manny” Mendoza, according to Sgt. Tony Sheneman, are wanted for involvement in Prater’s death Sept. 15, when Prater was shot and the car he was driving crashed into a fence on Sixth Street.
Stancampiano is an 18-year-old Latino with short, dark hair. He stands about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds. Mendoza, 19, is also Latino and wears a mustache. He is 5-foot-8 and weighs about 200 pounds.
Police conducted several searches Wednesday, Sept. 22, but did not find the suspects.
Tracy police ask anyone with information about their whereabouts to call Tracy Crime Stoppers at 831-6847, Detective Timothy Bauer at 831-6605, or Detective Craig Kootstra at 831-6637. A reward is offered for information that leads to their arrest.
Edgar Canseco has already been arrested in connection with the killing and remains in San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp without bail.
If I or anyone was accused of being involved in a crime that we didn’t commit or participate in, then it would be our responsibility to voluntarily turn ourselves in to clear our name as soon as possible, which would help the police save time and offer what information we have to help find who’s responsible.

I spoke w/A Mexican couple, they told me they home school because of this.
They are worried about their children being pressured into a gang.
Getting involved with drugs.
The peer pressure.
There was nothing racist in my previous post.
TP & TPD how about a little more info. on these 2 suspects. Are they from Tracy? Any more photos available? Anything?
Prater family, Is it your wish not to have a picture of Kevin Prater II in the paper?
Some kind of mafia gangsta hit?
Or, just a drug deal gone real bad.
If it was a hit, all those witnesses, That was stupid.
I would go for the wannabe mafia gangsta hit to take his drugs/money.
All the shootings in Tracy have one thing in common.
Ethnicity.
Just offer free benefits (or tacos) to the person that gives them up.
Someone will squeal.
TP, By Local Men do you mean Tracy?
