Vitaliy Zaytsev, 41, was shot and killed on the night of May 3, 2024 while sitting in his car in the driveway of his home on Hillridge Way in Carmichael. Deputies say an assailant approached in another vehicle just before 11 p.m., walked up to Zaytsev’s car and fired three rounds into the vehicle. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. His family and coworkers remembered him as a well-liked CVS manager who will be greatly missed.

Within days investigators identified three suspects. Authorities say detectives arrested Michael Anthony Espinosa and Miguel Esquibel in Idaho on May 6 and arrested Jeannette Lucille Nunes in San Jose on May 9. Prosecutors allege Nunes had been in a romantic relationship with Zaytsev and that the defendants were linked by cellphone records and recovered deleted messages. Court filings state the trio were charged with murder and conspiracy; prosecutors also allege financial motive tied to a $250,000 life-insurance policy naming Nunes as beneficiary.

Does anyone have information about Zaytsev’s movements that night or about activity on Hillridge Way around 11 p.m. on May 3, 2024?
