Anthony Steven San Juan, 43, of Santa Maria was shot and killed in the early hours of March 4, 2017, behind Elmer’s bar in Old Town Orcutt. The shooting occurred about 1:30 a.m.; reports say the gunman believed he was targeting people he had argued with inside the bar and mistakenly shot Tony.

Tony, known as Tony to family and friends, was a husband to Sara and father to son Noah and daughter Shiloh. His death is described as a senseless act of violence that deeply affected his family and the community; vigils and memorials were held in his memory.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives identified Jonathan David Highley, 35, of Orcutt, as the primary suspect. Highley reportedly lived behind the bar and had been involved in earlier altercations with patrons that night. Highley fled the scene but was apprehended later that morning; his wife Mayra Perez was also arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Did anyone in Old Town Orcutt see events outside Elmer’s that night or remember interactions between the bar’s patrons and Highley earlier in the evening?
