DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA – The sudden and mysterious deaths of teenagers Beatriz Vega, 17, and Roberto Deleon, 19, are sending ripples of grief and concern throughout Douglas County. The case, which began in the early hours of October 12, remains shrouded in uncertainty as law enforcement delves into the perplexing circumstances.
Upon responding to an automatic alert from an iPhone, Douglas County deputies found a seemingly innocuous scene at 3253 West Stewart Mill Road. Instead of encountering a vehicular accident as anticipated, they discovered both Vega and Deleon critically wounded in a vehicle showing no signs of collision. Both teens succumbed to their injuries at a local hospital.
This baffling discovery has raised countless questions within the community as investigators meticulously piece together the events of that night. The incident report, classified as an active homicide investigation, underscores the gravity of the situation without offering concrete details about potential suspects or motives.
While detectives chase leads and sift through evidence, they remain cautious about disclosing any particulars that might compromise their ongoing search for justice. The local sheriff’s office is enlisting the public’s assistance, yet they maintain silence on the investigation’s specifics.
Among those mourning Vega is her soccer coach, Hugo Pineda, who recounted her vibrant personality and dedication both on and off the field. As a loved student at Pebble Brook High School in Cobb County, her loss resonates deeply with peers and mentors alike.
Community members are rallying to support the families of both victims, with GoFundMe campaigns established to aid Vega and Deleon’s loved ones during this difficult time.
