Justin Bazan, 34, of Vista was shot and killed in Oceanside on January 12, 2025. He was found with a gunshot wound at the intersection of College Boulevard and Olive Drive about 2:05 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Oceanside Police Department opened a homicide investigation immediately after the discovery.

Authorities later arrested 51-year-old Pele Fuifui in Placentia and booked him into the Vista Detention Facility on first-degree murder charges; he is being held without bail. Reports say Fuifui served 23 years in prison for a separate San Diego homicide before parole in 2019. Investigators say the shooting is suspected to have arisen from a road rage incident, but motive details are still under investigation.

Anyone who was near College Boulevard and Olive Drive in the early hours of January 12 or who has information about the events leading up to the shooting is asked to contact the Oceanside Police Department.
