On August 7, 2018, Jasper Vault was found dead in Colton, California inside a yellow Jeep parked on the 2100 block of North Rancho Avenue. The discovery came at about 3:45 p.m.; investigators reported Vault had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and determined a handgun had been used. Officers said there were reports of vehicles fleeing the area around the time of the shooting, but the initial inquiry produced few leads.

Colton Police, with assistance from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, followed up on tips and leads. On August 9, 2018, Robert Holley was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder; police did not disclose the specific evidence that led to the arrest. The investigation and subsequent legal process continued as authorities worked to gather more evidence and move the case forward.

If anyone has information about Vault, the yellow Jeep, or vehicles seen leaving the 2100 block of North Rancho Avenue that afternoon, please share what is known.
