Miguel Facha, a 22-year-old resident of Ceres, California, tragically lost his life on March 16, 2020, in Modesto. The incident occurred around 10:45 p.m. when Facha was sitting in his car in a parking lot near Severin Avenue and Yosemite Boulevard. According to the Modesto police, Facha was approached by 20-year-old Anthony Dunn from Stockton, who attempted to rob him. During the robbery, Dunn shot Facha multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Facha was found by officers suffering from several gunshot wounds and was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into Facha's death quickly identified Dunn as the primary suspect. Detectives tracked Dunn to the Stockton area the following day.
