Guillermo Sotelo, a 55-year-old Hispanic/Latino man who drove a taxi for Crazy 8’s Taxi Company, was reported missing after failing to return from a July 30, 2018, early-morning fare in Somerton. His employer said he never checked in to confirm the pickup or destination after a call around 2:30 a.m., and his wife filed the missing-person report when he could not be reached. Sotelo regularly commuted from his home in San Luis, Mexico to work in the Yuma and Somerton area and was driving a turquoise 2001 Honda Odyssey with Arizona plates and a 4 ACES logo on the doors at the time he disappeared.

Officers later discovered an unresponsive man with at least one gunshot wound beside Highway 95 near milepost 16; he was pronounced dead at the scene and identified as Sotelo, with subsequent accounts reporting he had been shot in the head and back and left in the desert outside Somerton. Police tied the killing to Sotelo’s last fare after the taxi and other leads were developed; arrests were announced about two weeks later in connection with the murder.

Did anyone in the Yuma–Somerton area see Sotelo’s van, the fare that night, or anything unusual along Highway 95 around July 30–31, 2018?
