On December 16, 2017, 30-year-old Emmanuel Baca of Greeley, Colorado, was fatally shot in a rural part of Weld County south of Keenesburg near Interstate 76. His cousin Isael Baca was with him and was also shot but survived his injuries. Investigators identified Sammy Vega as the person believed to have shot both Emmanuel and Isael, and authorities say a truck was set on fire after the shooting.

The motive for the altercation has not been detailed. In March 2019, Sammy Vega pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Emmanuel’s death; other charges were dismissed under the plea and a sentencing hearing was set for April 29, 2019.

Does anyone have information about Emmanuel, Isael, or what led up to this shooting?
