Who’s been following this case closely and apprehensive about the jury deliberations? Every daily local news update was crazier than the next. Every single thing he did (investment screenshots to kids, 12 hour disappearance and lies about work, spell casting, poison, obsessive phone calls, freezer move, murderous shrine, guns shots/kids outside at night, car scratches, etc.) points to murder.

EDITED: GUILTY, 1ST DEGREE MURDER

Summary: More than a year before 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez and his 17-year-old accomplice killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego, local police and the F.B.I. were actively tracking the teenager’s concerning behavior. In January 2025, law enforcement obtained a court order to seize firearms from the Vazquez household after reports that the teen idolized Nazis and mass shooters, and he had previously been placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold. This article investigates how two teenagers, both previously flagged for extremist behavior, were able to carry out a fatal shooting at a San Diego mosque despite prior intervention attempts by law enforcement and federal agencies. It details the missed warning signs, including earlier efforts to confiscate weapons from the suspects' homes and the limitations of current threat-monitoring systems.
