Stephen Lee Finson, 47, of Northeast Antelope Valley, California, was found dead near his all-terrain vehicle on the morning of February 24, 2014, after being reported missing following a desert ride. He was last seen the afternoon of February 23, 2014; a volunteer search team discovered his body near the 13300 block of East Avenue H and he was pronounced dead at 9:20 a.m. by paramedics.

Authorities initially considered an ATV accident but later determined Finson died of a fatal gunshot wound. Lancaster resident Arturo López, 38, was arrested and charged with one count of murder with an allegation he personally and intentionally used a rifle, plus three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon and a prior 1997 conviction for unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle was noted. Bail was set at over $2 million and an arraignment was scheduled at the Antelope Valley Courthouse; no motive has been disclosed.

Did anyone in the Antelope Valley area know Stephen or have information about his movements on February 23, 2014?
