Juan Carlos Reyes, 23, of King City, California, was found dead of a gunshot wound on August 20, 2017, near the railroad tracks by the former Meyer Tomatoes facility. Local law enforcement treated the death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Investigators reported a difficult probe: there were no immediate witnesses and limited physical evidence at the scene, which complicated efforts to establish a motive or identify a perpetrator. Officers conducted interviews and followed leads but made no immediate arrests, and detectives continued to pursue new information over time.

The killing remains a painful matter for the King City community and the victim’s family. If anyone has information about Reyes, his movements that day, or the area around the Meyer Tomatoes tracks, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
