Augustine Gus Vegas, 58, a 15-year veteran of the Richmond Police Department who served as a Range Master and homicide detective, was shot and killed in his Vallejo home on February 11, 2016. The shooting occurred around 4:30 a.m. inside his residence on Narragansett Court and happened in the presence of his family.

Authorities identified the suspect as 30-year-old Robert James Vega, the father of Vegas’s six-year-old grandson. He was arrested in Fairfield, about 15 miles from the crime scene, and charged with voluntary manslaughter and personal use of a firearm. At trial the jury found him sane at the time of the offense. In December 2017 he received a 21-year prison sentence.

Vegas was remembered by colleagues and family as a dedicated officer and a loving family man. Does anyone have memories of Gus Vegas to share or information about the case?
