On May 17, 2009, at 4:14 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting at 1323 Fifth Avenue South in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Emergency crews found 42-year-old Rachelle Vega with a gunshot wound and she was taken to Trinity Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators quickly identified Rachelle’s husband, 29-year-old Angel Dejesus Vega-Sanchez, as a suspect and charged him with first-degree murder. Police say Vega-Sanchez believed his wife was having an affair and shot her while she was holding her cell phone; he allegedly intended to confront the man he suspected and police intercepted him before he arrived at that man’s residence. A second person, 25-year-old Mario Isai Jimenez, was arrested as a material witness and held on high bond.

What information can anyone with knowledge of Rachelle, her movements that morning, or related contacts provide to help clarify what happened?
