Emmanuel Vega, 35, died after being shot in Redding, California, in the early morning hours of October 4, 2020. The shooting happened about 3 a.m. in the parking lot by a Jack in the Box and AMPM gas station at Railroad Avenue and Buenaventura Boulevard. Vega was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds around 6 a.m.

Investigators identified James Joshua Noyes as the primary suspect. Witnesses and surveillance video from nearby businesses were important in identifying Noyes. He led officers on a high-speed chase on Interstate 5, crashed near the Knighton Road exit, tried to run, and was ultimately stopped after being struck by a patrol car and subdued with a police dog. Noyes faced charges of first-degree murder and evading a police officer and was described as having a lengthy criminal history.

Does anyone have information about Vega, the parking lot that night, or remembered seeing activity near Railroad Avenue and Buenaventura Boulevard?
