David Isaac Vega, 44, of Ocala, Florida, was shot and killed in the early hours of November 15, 2020. Officers responded to a shooting outside a residence on Northwest 16th Place and found Vega near the home’s carport with an apparent gunshot wound. An officer performed CPR until EMS arrived, but Vega was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:23 a.m. He had been shot once in the head and a shell casing was recovered; witnesses reported hearing a loud pop.

Police say a disagreement earlier that day between Vega and 45-year-old Stanley Summers Jr. escalated, and Summers was later indicted by a grand jury on a charge of first-degree murder. Summers was already in custody on unrelated charges when indicted; prosecutors noted he faced the possibility of the death penalty at his first appearance, though they later chose not to seek it. Investigators cited witness statements, cellphone data, and surveillance video as linking Summers to the shooting, and a public defender was appointed after Summers said he could not afford private counsel.

The residents of the house where Vega was found were not believed to be involved, and investigators described the incident as isolated. Does anyone have information about Vega’s movements that night or about the earlier disagreement between him and Summers?
