On the night of May 10, 2021, at about 10:33 PM, officers in Santa Ana found 24-year-old Froylan Vazquez unresponsive in the 1900 block of South Fairview Street with a gunshot wound to his upper torso. Emergency personnel pronounced Vazquez dead at the scene; the Orange County Coroner’s Division later confirmed his identity and cause of death.

Investigators say a black truck was seen leaving the area through an alley immediately after the shooting. Detectives reviewed surveillance footage and other leads and located that truck parked on South Baker Street on May 12. At about 12:40 AM on May 13, Santa Ana police arrested 19-year-old Jose Antonio Mejia-Garcia at his home; a 9mm handgun was recovered during a search warrant. Mejia-Garcia was interviewed, made incriminating statements according to police, and was booked on charges of murder under California Penal Code 187. Police allege the motive was a dispute over a female.

Does anyone in the Santa Ana area have information about the shooting or saw the truck in the neighborhood that night?
