At Rest

Suicide
At approximately 10:30 p.m., the Merced County Sheriff's Office was advised by the Milpitas Police Department and U.S. Marshals Service that Kevin James Gitmed, a suspect in a murder investigation, was staying in the Motel 6 in Santa Nella. Police surrounded the room and told him to come outside. A short time later, deputies heard a single gunshot inside the room. A drone was used to look into the room. Deputies saw that Gitmed had shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Kevin James Gitmed, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
