Matthew Caquelin, 26, was found dead on November 25, 2015, in a field near West Elverta Road between Interstate 5 and Highway 99 in Sacramento County. A fiber‑optics work crew discovered the body and called 911 at about 7:15 a.m. Deputies reported Caquelin had multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso; Sacramento Metro Fire personnel pronounced him dead at the scene, and the case was treated as a homicide.

Investigators quickly identified 28‑year‑old Scot Sequeira of Sacramento as a suspect and arrested him on December 16, 2015, in Newman, California. Detectives also could not determine why the two men were in that rural area of North Sacramento County when Caquelin was killed.

Anyone who knew Matthew, his routines, or who saw either man in that area on or before November 25, 2015, is asked to come forward with information.
