Who ever he was, may he rest in peace

[@TheMizpah2000]

Communicate with our kids. Depression is real.

[@MxSpikeSpiegelxM]

I can only image some poor person walking up onto this scene

[@yettimannettii2039]

What about a rich person ?

[@karlavav]

I walk every morning there, so sad 😞

[@CJAvls]

Holy shit I run by that spot on my morning jog sometimes. Won’t see that place the same anymore, knowing what happened there.

[@SnoopySd-d2w]

Terrible. Sad either way. If he took his life, or if he was sleeping and someone took his.

[@warpedweirdo]

Hmmm... So there was a gun in or close to the guy's hand?

[@yettimannettii2039]

Maybe the guy walked up and took it. Free pewpew

[@VaunShiz]

I'm guessing yes , they ruled it a suicide

[@midnyte6195]

The way I see it,it looks like a homicide and NOT a suicide otherwise the cops would have found his gun, so it was a homicide🤔

[@villumschroeder1255]

It's Chula Juana I mean Vista. People kill each other there. Not themselves.

[@VaunShiz]

Police ruled it a suicide, so unless you were there , you're wrong

[@serminded]

Was there a gun on scene? Why suicide?

[@User_92020]

It's possible someone took the gun before contacting authorities

[@yettimannettii2039]

Description does not mention a gun. Description does not mention they guy walking up and seeing a gun. Only blood coming from his head.

[@User_92020]

​@yettimannettii2039 Description mentioned he was SHOT 🔫 Obviously, a gun was involved! You probably took the gun.

[@serminded]

@User_92020 my guess is you took the gun. You mentioned it first. Not smart taking evidence from a crime scene. You should know better

[@serminded]

@User_92020 entrance of gunshot should easily determine that. There should be gunpowder burn depending on how far the gun was from the wound. I used to deal with deaths and cases that came from the M.E.

[@waterslidexplorer]

This park is full of weird people smoking pot at night, also there are drug dealers around the area not surprised, will happen more often

[@Cecilia-wx1dv]

RIP

[@Cecilia-wx1dv]

Suicide would mean the gun would be near. While theyre are freakin Einsteins who would take a gun under these conditions, it also would make that person liable to be held for this mans death. And by ignorance or stupidity, i agree it should be a charge and conviction if that is what happend here. Im guessing because im not seeing the typical houseless gear near this park or near the deceased, it was probably a meet up exchange gone bad.

[@Cecilia-wx1dv]

Pure speculation, no evidence for my opinion.

[@VaunShiz]

They ruled it a suicide, a gun being near by doesn't always mean suicide, you could shoot someone with gloves on drop the gun next to them and get away with it ? I think not , I'm guessing they fingerprinted the gun first , only found the deceased prints on it ..

[@mousemode8758]

I’ll miss you forever sei

[@evrnlove893]

What is the best way to find identity of the deceased ?

[@yettimannettii2039]

check for an ID?

[@danp7463]

Dental records

[@warpedweirdo]

ID, as previously mentioned. Fingerprints will often work nowadays, since the CA DMV requires fingerprints for licenses. I don't think dental records are any use unless they already have a name and need only confirm it. Maybe run DNA through 23-and-me and similar, possibly find family, show them pictures of the deceased. If the gun is found, use the serial number to start with the manufacturer and follow the chain of transfers to the end, see if the last recorded recipient is the deceased. I hear this is a PITA and unreliable, police often don't bother doing this for crimes, and this is why the hysteria over "ghost guns" is ridiculous.

[@ken.cade5]

the police do not know if this was a homicide or suicide? If it was suicide, wouldn't the gun be nearby?

[@VaunShiz]

They ruled it a suicide, they don't immediately rule it that because someone can shoot someone and just drop the gun and run , they probably fingerprinted it first

[@danp7463]

Hey Doug I hope you're okay. You sound like you ran. Good footage as usual.

[@911VideoNews]

I am!

[@danp7463]

@@911VideoNews good to hear. Be safe out there tonight, and thanks for REAL NEWS not agenda driven garbage like what the alphabet news outlets shove down people's throat's.

[@CaliforniaEBRDude]

That's Lake Crest Drive, not La Cresta.

[@daygornelas]

I was just there yesterday morning when it became sunny.

[@commanderbell1965]

Homeless

[@danp7463]

Unless someone is breaking into someone's house or trying to attack them; there's no need to kill someone. Even if the victim was homeless he's a human being. People need to stop killing each other over petty Shit.

[@Leadslinger619]

I saw a radio walkie talkie on the floor, i lot of young kids that work for cartel chill around the city driving around waiting for orders to pick illegals up or transport drugs, almost like they couldve been chillin there doing what they do , or maybe took them there by force to be killed. Its a very lonely place at night

[@slammedSd]

Probably over a debt
