On June 14, 2022, 25-year-old Vinson Bragg of Rodeo, California, was shot and killed on Mariposa Street between California Street and Dempsey Way. Officers arrived after a 5:11 p.m. call and found Bragg with a gunshot wound; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Another person at the location was injured after leaping from a second-story window and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a family dispute. The suspect, 23-year-old Joseph Gladney, identified as Bragg’s half-brother, was found hiding in a nearby backyard and arrested. He was charged with murder, attempted murder, and making criminal threats, and a firearm enhancement was filed on the murder count; bail was set at $2 million. Gladney pleaded not guilty at a September 20, 2022 hearing and the case remained under investigation.

Did anyone in Rodeo see or hear anything that afternoon on Mariposa Street that could help the investigation?
