Jose Quirin, a 79-year-old resident of San Diego, was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking on May 3, 2022. He was sitting in his parked vehicle outside his workplace in Bay Ho when 21-year-old Francisco Xavier Villegas confronted him and tried to take the car. When Quirin resisted, Villegas pulled out a gun and shot him at close range.

Mortally wounded, Quirin drove a short distance to a McDonald’s parking lot in Pacific Beach, where employees found him and he was taken to a hospital. Villegas was identified after security cameras captured him boarding the San Diego Trolley shortly after the shooting and was arrested. He had prior convictions including assault with a knife, robbery, and battery, and was on probation at the time of the incident.

Villegas was charged with first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Quirin’s family described him as a hard worker who provided for his family and was deeply missed. Does anyone have information about Quirin’s movements that morning or saw the vehicle in Bay Ho before the shooting?
