Jaime Jesus Acevedo Vega Jr., 25, was found dead in his vehicle on South Gillis Road near Highway 4 in San Joaquin County on July 29, 2022. Deputies responded after a wellness check reporting a man slumped over; Vega had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Joaquin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

The location is a sparsely populated, mostly agricultural area, which investigators say has made finding eyewitnesses and other evidence difficult. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating, has offered a reward for information, and has not announced any arrests or named suspects.

Does anyone who was in the South Gillis Road or Highway 4 area on July 29, 2022 have information that could help investigators?
