Roberto Fonseca-Rivera was gunned down Nov. 1, 2019, as he drove his produce truck through Rockingham, Vermont. When state police investigators narrowed their probe down to one suspect, they got a shock.
that one of Fonseca-Rivera’s colleagues called state troopers the evening of the shooting to report that Fonseca-Rivera had not returned from a Vermont restaurant delivery. The co-worker said the GPS in Fonseca-Rivera’s truck showed the vehicle was stopped on Vermont Route 103 in Rockingham.Around 6:15 p.m., the trooper found the green Katsiroubas Produce box truck parked in the breakdown lane of the rural two-lane highway.
The truck’s GPS system showed that at 1:21 p.m. the day of the shooting, Fonseca-Rivera was driving at nearly 60 mph before suddenly decelerating, increasing speed and again decelerating, all within a 5-second period,. By 1:22 p.m., the truck had come to a stop and stayed that way until it was found several hours later.
Investigating troopers conducted several interviews with Fonseca-Rivera’s family, co-workers and friends. One of his friends, Pedro Iroala, told detectives he was on the phone with Fonseca-Rivera at the time of the shooting, though he did not know until later what had happened. “Iroala heard what appeared to be Fonseca-Rivera hitting the ‘zipper’ on the roadway. This was clarified to be the rumble strip,”. “When Fonseca-Rivera hit the rumble strip, Iroala noted Fonseca-Rivera appeared to be laughing .”
