Tragic Loss of a Fellow WRX STi Owner

to whom it may concern, we have lost a fellow subaru owner and enthusiast.
March 12, 2005, my friend/brother Jake Tuason was a victim of a gun shot wound to the backside of his head while coming home from Tustin of the 55 fwy going northbound. later pronounced dead at United Western Medical center the next day.

He was not only a proud owner of a 2005 WRX STi in Crystal Grey Metallic. not even 2 months old and is now a loss. any fellow member of these boards and fellow boards would like to show their appreciation, I will keep everyone updated by posting on this thread. another member by the name of onefasazn is also aware of this event due to he is a very close friend to the family as well.

Myself and the family will dearly miss Jake and everything that went with him.

Jake Anothny O. Tuason

August 1, 1978 - March 13, 2005.

Not only my friend, but I consider him my brother. Myself, friends and family will miss you man. Keep an eye on us from up above. We know "He" has something much better planned for you.

no reason for the shooting. its still unknown. if you ask my own personal guess, I think its either mistaken idenity or jealousy. but we have no definite answer yet. and thanx for your support guys. we all appriciate it.

as far as we know, Jake was driving northbound on the 55 fwy before the 22 fwy, and was shot on the left side of his head just behind the ear. he was later pronounced brain dead at 1 in the morning the next day. and his life support was cut off at 8 am in the morning due to we couldnt do anything more for him. I will keep everyone updated. this information can also be found on nasioc if you guys are members of that forum as well. thanx for the support again guys.
