In a reportedly tragic occurrence in the Nestor neighborhood, the San Diego Police Department disclosed details on a double homicide case. The incident, taking place near 2002 Sunset Avenue, saw two men losing their lives to gunfire. Found in separate campers within an industrial lot close to the Mexican border, the victims were identified as Aaron Cruz, 42, and Richard Hartung, 64, both residents of the campers they were found in.
According to a press release from the San Diego Police, as per the City of San Diego's official website, the initial reports of the shootings were received on August 30 at approximately 3:25 AM. The subsequent investigation benefited from city and private security cameras, which contributed to the sighting of a suspect vehicle, ultimately leading to an arrest. A red Chevy Suburban became the focal point of the investigation.
Following a traffic stop on September 2, at 130 West Calle Primera, the driver of the Suburban was apprehended. He has been identified as David Verduzco Kruglova, a 24-year-old Hispanic male. Kruglova is now facing two counts of murder, as reported by Hoodline. Last Tuesday, an additional arrest was made involving a 16-year-old male juvenile from Tijuana, Mexico, who is linked to the case, as stated by officials.
Due to the ongoing investigations and potential need for additional information, the San Diego Police are urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward. They can contact the Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers. The San Diego Police Department has provided contact numbers for both, which are (619) 531-2293 and (888) 580-8477, respectively, for anyone wishing to assist in resolving this case. The arrest of the second suspect, a minor, introduces further complexity to an already tragic scenario and underscores the necessity for continued community support in policing efforts.
