Alejandro Escobar, 36, of Olivehurst, California, was fatally shot on Highway 70 on May 22, 2019. He was riding in the backseat of his nephew’s car when a gold-colored sedan pulled alongside and opened fire during what authorities described as a road rage confrontation. Escobar died from the shooting; one of his nephews was injured.

Investigators from the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office reviewed surveillance footage along about a 30-mile stretch of roadway and traced the gold sedan to three people: Avery Sanchez, 20; Vivion Wallace, 21; and Juan Antonio Barajas, 19. Sanchez and Wallace were arrested on murder charges, and Barajas was booked on an accessory charge. The suspects were taken into custody at separate locations and booked into the Yuba County Jail.

No prior connection between the suspects and the victims has been reported and the motive remains unclear. Escobar’s widow and family were left to grieve and cope with the loss.

Did anyone in the area see the gold sedan or remember the road rage incident on Highway 70 that day?
