A fatal shooting on April 24, 2025, in El Cajon, California, left 26-year-old Jaquis Holiday dead. Officers responded to multiple emergency calls about 10:13 a.m. in the 300 block of North First Street and found Holiday with gunshot wounds; he was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police say Holiday and 47-year-old Terrell Gibbs were acquainted and had argued before the shooting. Gibbs fled the scene but contacted the El Cajon Police Department about 4:30 p.m. that afternoon and agreed to surrender; he was taken into custody and is facing homicide charges. The incident prompted precautionary lockdowns at El Cajon Valley High School and two nearby elementary schools, though officials stated the shooting was not connected to the schools.

The investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information about the argument or the shooting, please come forward to investigators.
