Jesus Teolbaldo Ortega was 27 when he was fatally shot late evening on May 20, 2018, in Lamont, California. Deputies responded to reports of gunfire just before 10:30 PM in the area of Gail Marie Drive off Main Street and found Ortega with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Kern Medical and died shortly after arrival.

The shooting reportedly took place inside a home in the 8200 block of Gail Marie Drive. No arrests have been made and the Kern County Sheriff’s Office is actively seeking information from the public. Ortega left behind a young daughter, Yvonne, and a community fundraiser was set up to help with funeral expenses.

What information, however small, might help investigators identify who was responsible for this killing?
