Vidal Quevedo, a 27-year-old resident of Santa Ana, California, was tragically shot and killed on May 6, 2014. The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. in the parking lot area of an apartment complex located in the 2900 block of North Bristol Street. Quevedo was reportedly smoking in the parking lot when he was shot in the upper torso. Family members found him shortly after the shooting and he was transported to UCI Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The Santa Ana Police
Department launched an investigation into the murder, with witnesses reporting hearing one to two gunshots and seeing two male suspects fleeing the scene on foot. The Orange County Sheriff's Department assisted in the investigation by sending a bloodhound to the scene to help track the suspects. Despite these efforts, the neighborhood where the shooting occurred was not known to be gang-affiliated, adding complexity to the case.
As of the latest updates, the police were still searching for the suspects involved in Quevedo's murder. They urged anyone with information to contact the Santa Ana Police Department's homicide detectives or the Orange County Crime Stoppers. The case remains open, with law enforcement continuing to seek leads and gather evidence to bring the perpetrators to justice.
