Kevin Burton was an 18-year-old recent Grossmont High School graduate who was shot and killed on June 25, 2022, in San Diego’s College Area. He and friends were driving away from a house party in the early morning when, as their car turned onto El Cajon Boulevard, a bullet struck Kevin in the head and another bullet hit a nearby apartment window. Friends rushed him to the hospital, but he died later that day.

The San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit identified and arrested a suspect within a week. Twenty-two-year-old David Rasean Vereen was charged with murder and shooting at an inhabited dwelling; police did not disclose a motive, though reports connected the shooting to an altercation or incident at the party. Vereen pleaded not guilty to the original charges and the case moved through the courts.

Kevin’s family and friends called for justice and urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have additional details about the party or the moments before the shooting that could help investigators?
