The Red County Ledger “Second Homicide in a Week Shakes Quiet Blueberry Community” By Alicia Mora | July 2025 BLUEBERRY, RC — A second fatal shooting in less than a week has stirred concern across Blueberry, a town long known more for its quiet fields than its crime reports. At approximately 22:10 last night, sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of gunfire at the Red County Truck Terminal, just off Route 1, across from the Fresa Trailer Park. When they arrived, they found a man slumped over the wheel of a Stratum wagon, riddled with bullet holes on the driver’s side door and rear panel. The victim was identified early this morning as Gilbert Malloy, 39, of no fixed residence. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene. Authorities believe Malloy was attempting to leave the terminal’s rear lot when he was gunned down, though they have not released further details. Witnesses described what may have been a vehicle fleeing the scene. The truck terminal was already closed for the evening, and no staff were reported to be on site at the time of the incident. According to law enforcement sources, Malloy had minor prior offenses, including possession and trespassing charges, but was not known to be affiliated with any major groups. Still, investigators have not ruled out the possibility of retaliation or gang ties. This marks the second homicide in Blueberry in under a week. Just days ago, Anthony Hernandez was found dead on the rooftops of a nearby apartment block after a shootout that left bullet casings scattered across the complex’s yard. “We’re not used to this kind of violence,” said a longtime resident who requested anonymity. “First the apartments, now the truck stop? People are locking their doors early now.” Locals describe a shift in the town’s atmosphere. Blueberry, once a sleepy stop between Los Santos and San Fierro, appears to be waking up to a darker reality.

The Red County Ledger “Gunfire in Blueberry: One Dead Following Late-Night Shooting at Apartment Complex” By Alicia Mora | July 2025 BLUEBERRY, RC — A man was found dead on the rooftop of a low-income apartment complex in Blueberry shortly after 1:14 AM, following a violent shootout in the complex’s central yard that startled residents and left behind a scene of spent shells, shattered windows, and unanswered questions. The deceased has been identified by authorities as Anthony Hernandez, a 28-year-old male with a listed residence in Los Santos. Hernandez was pronounced dead at the scene by county paramedics after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. According to investigators, his body was recovered on the rooftop of one of the southern units — an area suggesting he may have attempted to flee or pursue his assailant before being fatally shot at close range. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as shots rang out across the complex. Local accounts gathered at the scene suggest Hernandez may have initiated the confrontation, though this remains unconfirmed. His vehicle, a black luxury coupe registered to a Los Santos address, was located nearby and has since been impounded as part of the ongoing investigation. No suspects have been arrested as of this writing, and detectives with the Red County Sheriff's Department are still working to determine a motive. According to a department spokesperson, cooperation from residents has been limited, with several witnesses refusing to provide formal statements. Hernandez maintained an active presence on social media, where he frequently posted images displaying jewelry, high-end vehicles, and large amounts of cash. Authorities have not officially commented on whether robbery, retaliation, or gang involvement is suspected, but say all possibilities remain on the table. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Red County Sheriff’s tip line. No further details have been released.

The Red County Ledger “Shifts in the Dust: Drug Trade and Car Culture Blur in Blueberry” By Alicia Mora | June 2025 BLUEBERRY, RC — A growing pattern of late-night movement, increased narcotics activity, and subtle but persistent gang indicators has drawn concern from local law enforcement in the Blueberry area, particularly near the aging Fresa Trailer Park and the adjacent Red County Truck Stop. Sheriff’s Department personnel, speaking off-record, described a “slow burn” of criminal activity that has largely escaped public attention. Small but regular seizures of methamphetamine, minor vehicle thefts, and observed patterns of informal gatherings involving modified vehicles have formed what one deputy called “a troubling rhythm.” “It’s not one big bust or a shootout that tips you off,” said the deputy. “It’s the way certain trailers have different cars every week. The unregistered plates. The constant traffic to and from the truck stop after midnight.” No single group has been publicly named. However, officers note that much of the movement appears centered around younger men from outlying rural areas, some with known links to Northern San Andreas. The activity is described as “careful,” with participants rarely engaging in open displays or violent incidents, preferring discretion over notoriety. In recent months, graffiti bearing numeric identifiers has begun appearing along rural signage and low concrete structures in the surrounding area. While not overt, these tags are consistent with markers seen in other counties tied to Northern-aligned criminal factions. Locals have reported hearing engine revving, loud music, and late-night conversations behind shuttered buildings. For some, it’s a welcome sign of life in a town long accused of fading out. For others, it’s a red flag. “It ain’t just culture,” said one trucker who passes through weekly. “These kids aren’t out here for show. They got something going.” So far, there have been no major arrests tied to the ongoing activity, and the Sheriff’s Department has declined to comment on any active investigations. However, a recent arrest in Las Colinas, linked to a violent altercation outside a nightclub, has quietly drawn investigators’ attention back toward Red County. The man detained was identified as Edgar Benitez, known as “Viriz”, a familiar name to detectives who tracked Norteño-linked activity in rural San Andreas during the early 2010s. Edgar Benitez, also known as “Viriz”, pictured center in this frame taken from a low-budget music video circa 2010. According to sources familiar with the case, the local rapper has previously served time for narcotics distribution and possession of unlicensed firearms. Law enforcement believes Benitez may have been quietly organizing a network of younger associates in and around Blueberry, gathering foot soldiers, reconnecting with old ties, and preparing to reestablish a drug pipeline running south into the city of Los Santos. With movement picking up near the Red County truck stop and trailer communities like Fresa Street, investigators suspect a rural push is underway, one that echoes older patterns seen over a decade ago.
