Richard Hartung, 64, lived in a camper inside a fenced storage lot in San Diego’s Nestor neighborhood. In the dark early hours of August 30, 2025—about 3:25 to 3:30 a.m.—neighbors heard gunfire near the 2000 block of Sunset Avenue. Officers found two separate camper trailers and two men fatally shot inside them: Hartung and 42-year-old Aaron Cruz. Both men resided at the complex of individually fenced industrial lots.

Investigators used city and private security cameras to trace a path out of the lot and focused on a red Chevy Suburban seen near the scene. On September 2, police arrested 24-year-old David Verduzco Kruglova on two counts of murder. In the following weeks authorities also arrested a 16-year-old Tijuana resident and 22-year-old Marco Ramos Ramirez on suspicion of involvement. No motive or details about any relationship among the suspects and the victims have been publicly disclosed.

Does anyone who knew Richard or worked around the storage-lot complex have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
