Tracy, California — Sikh temple volunteer kidnapped and killed in mistaken-identity case; first suspect arrested in Mexi
Avtar Singh, 57, a volunteer and cook at the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Parkash in Tracy, was forced into a white SUV by three men outside the temple on February 17, and his body was found three days later in a remote area near Lake Berryessa. Investigators say Singh was a victim of mistaken identity in a dispute over a stolen cargo trailer, and a San Joaquin County grand jury indicted three Vallejo men — Alberto Alonso Alencastro, 25, Alfonso Cresencio Segura Arellano, 20, and Barnabe Antonio Segura Arellano, 22 — on murder with special circumstances and kidnapping. Alencastro was arrested in Mexico and extradited to San Joaquin County on November 7 to face the indictment, while the other two suspects remain at large.
