Another Man Accused in Imperial Beach Shooting Death

Salvador Cuellar is the fourth person to face charges in the death of Hector Arce

San Diego County Sheriff’s detectives have implicated another suspect in the death of a man shot several times in Imperial Beach.

Salvador Cuellar, 27, faces one count of murder in the case of Hector Arce, whose body was discovered lying in an alley off Imperial Beach Boulevard on Jan. 28, 2012.

A two-year investigation led detectives to arrest three people – Shelly Villalobos, Reyes Cruz and Adrian Lopez – in early September.

More than a month later, they had enough evidence to file charges against Cuellar with the District Attorney’s office.

Cuellar was already in custody at the George Bailey Detention Facility on an unrelated case.
