Caleb Vazquez

Caleb Vazquez was identified as one of the two white supremacist shooters responsible for a deadly attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, May 18, 2026, which resulted in three fatalities. A year prior to the shooting, local officials had seized firearms from his father due to alarm over Vazquez's behavior, specifically his idolization of mass shooters and Nazism. This information has come to light following the attack, with reports indicating that Vazquez had already been on law enforcement's radar. The incident has brought renewed attention to the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the prior warnings about the perpetrator's extremist views.
