In late summer 2025, 52-year-old Rocia Vega was killed in a shooting in Bessemer, Alabama. The fatal gun violence occurred on September 5, and the circumstances surrounding her death were not immediately clear to family and the community.

Investigators developed a lead that connected the case to a suspect, and authorities later captured a man in Mississippi who was identified in relation to a Hueytown homicide. That man, Carlos Heard, was charged with the murder of Rocia Vega, moving the case into the criminal justice system.

Rocia Vega’s death left family and friends seeking answers and justice amid the shock of a sudden loss. Does anyone have information about Rocia Vega, her movements in Bessemer around September 5, 2025, or anything that could help the ongoing case?
