Saul Morales Vaca was 21 when he was killed on February 23, 2018, in Delano, California. The Kern County coroner determined the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds. Vaca was in the rear yard of a residence in the 900 block of Belmont Street when unknown suspect(s) drove a car into the alley behind the house and fired several rounds. He was taken to Delano Regional Medical Center and died of his injuries.

Kern Secret Witness is offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Investigators have said the lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has hindered progress in the wider string of unsolved homicides the department has been addressing.

Anyone who knew Saul or saw activity in the 900 block of Belmont Street around February 23, 2018, is asked to contact the Delano Police Department or Kern Secret Witness with information.
