Modesto, CA – Detectives are seeking information on a suspect pictured in surveillance video at a homicide scene.

On Thursday, May 4th at about 11:50 p.m., dispatch received a medical aid call at the Hatch Food and Gas in the 800 block of Hatch Road for a man who was possibly having a seizure. During an examination, paramedics on scene determined the man, identified as 32-year-old Jagjeet Singh, did not have a seizure, but had been stabbed. Singh was rushed to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The preliminary findings suggest that Singh was securing the business after closing when he was approached by the suspect. The suspect, described as a Hispanic male adult wearing a black and white beanie cap, black t-shirt, white zip-up sweater, gray pants and black shoes, stabbed Singh and then fled from the scene.

As we continue our investigation, we welcome any information that would help us piece together what took place. Detectives encourage anyone with information on the suspect seen in the surveillance video to call Crime Stoppers at 209-521-4636. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Tipsters may also text information to Crime Stoppers at 274637. Just type “TIP704” along with your message.
