In the early hours of Monday, August 3, 2026, a vehicle crashed into the front yard of a home in the 16200 block of Sweetaire Avenue in Lancaster, California. First responders arriving around 12:43 a.m. found 46-year-old Jarrod Price inside the vehicle; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as White/Caucasian and died from gunshot wounds to the head and neck rather than from injuries sustained in the crash.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau says Price had been shot before the vehicle veered off the road and struck the yard. No motive or suspect description was released in the immediate aftermath, and the case has been classified as a homicide. As of the latest reports, the investigation remains open and no information about arrests or charges has been provided.
