Jeremy Snowden, a 30-year-old resident of Apple Valley, California, was reported missing by his family in late August 2022. Deputies found his body on August 29, 2022, at about 6 a.m. near an abandoned building in the 200 block of George Boulevard in Victorville, on property belonging to the Southern California Logistics Airport and the shuttered George Air Force Base. Snowden had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

The Sheriff’s Specialized Investigations Division - Homicide Detail took over the probe. Detectives identified a suspect described as a 16-year-old boy, obtained an arrest warrant, and arrested the teen on August 31, 2022; he was booked at the High Desert Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of the fatal shooting. The relationship, if any, between Snowden and the teen has not been disclosed. Snowden is survived by three children: Adrian, age 12; Rosie, age 7; and Alex, age 5, and his family set up a GoFundMe for expenses.

Anyone with information that could assist the ongoing investigation is asked to come forward.
