Cedric ONeal Paris, 42, was found suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the chest on a sidewalk in the 6400 block of Clara Lee Avenue in the Allied Gardens neighborhood of San Diego on January 17, 2015. Emergency responders tried to save him, but he died before he could be taken to a hospital.

Investigators quickly focused on a suspect vehicle; police stopped an SUV near Scripps Poway Parkway and arrested Cedric’s older brother, Jason Douglas Paris, then 43. He was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder and later charged with first-degree murder and lying in wait, with testimony during the proceedings saying he had been lying in wait prior to the shooting.

Cedric’s death and the fact that the suspect was a family member deeply affected relatives and the local community. If anyone in Allied Gardens that day saw activity on Clara Lee Avenue or an SUV matching that description near Scripps Poway Parkway, please come forward with information.
