Two bodies were found at the Otay Valley Regional Park in the South Bay on Friday afternoon, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said. First responders received a call about a body found on the shore on the north side of Beyer Boulevard in Chula Vista at about 11:54 p.m. Minutes later, San Diego Fire-Rescue received a second call about another body in the water on the south side of Beyer Boulevard in San Diego, SDFD’s Candace Hadley said. Both individuals were pronounced deceased at the scene. The bodies were not found near each other and were, in fact, located in separate cities, across the valley from each other, according to San Diego police Lt. Cesar Jimenez. One of the bodies was identified by family as that of a missing teenager with autism. Julian Guerrero was last seen by his mother at their home near Palm Avenue in Imperial Beach around 1 a.m. yesterday. When his mother woke up, she told neighbors her son and his bike were gone. Friends and neighbors started searching for Guerrero and eventually came to the regional park after learning a body had been found there. The teen’s parents were seen speaking with officers and appeared visibly shaken. One neighbor said police did not respond with enough urgency. “He had severe autism, and when I called and said the mom is not OK right now, he has been gone for way too many hours. He has severe autism — you guys need to do something about it,” neighbor and friend Lissette Carrillo Mejia said. The teenager’s body was pulled from Fenton Pond in the jurisdiction of San Diego police. Jimenez said the body did not appear to have any trauma, so the Medical Examiner was called to take over the investigation. No other details would be provided until the ME discloses the cause of death, the lieutenant said. The second body was believed to be an unhoused man in his 60s, according to Chula Vista police. His death does not appear suspicious or connected to the teenager’s death, CVPD Lt. Anthony Molina said. Please refresh this page for updates on this story.
