Andrew Billeci, 59, of Valley Center, California, was found dead at his home on Lake Wohlford Road near Valley View Casino on August 27, 2019. Deputies who responded to a welfare check discovered he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators searching the residence also located explosives and unidentified chemicals, prompting the sheriff’s Bomb/Arson Unit and a hazardous materials team to respond. Those materials were later determined not to pose a danger to the public. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Homicide Unit led the investigation, but no immediate arrests or publicly identified suspects were reported in the initial stages, and few details about motive emerged.

Anyone who knew Andrew or who has information about his activities, acquaintances, or the events around August 27, 2019, is urged to contact investigators.
