The San Diego County Sheriff's Department responded to reports of gunfire near the intersection of Jamacha Boulevard and Thayer Drive around 9:30 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies found Rose with multiple gunshot wounds.
Despite immediate life-saving efforts and transportation to a nearby hospital, Rose succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after. An autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds, and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.
The investigation into Rose's death revealed that the incident was likely gang-related. In November 2022, the San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force, in collaboration with the Sheriff's Homicide detectives, made significant progress in the case. On November 18, 2022, 23-year-old Dejell Broadnax was arrested at an apartment complex in San Marcos. A few days later, on November 21, 2022, 28-year-old Jordan Mitchell was apprehended near a park in El Cajon. Both suspects were booked into the San Diego Central Jail on charges of murder. Authorities believe that the suspects and the victim did not know each other, but the circumstances and motivations behind the incident were linked to gang activities.
The case remains under active investigation by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
