A second car-wash fundraiser has been planned to help cover funeral arrangements for Jerred Vargas, the Davis High School senior who died last week in an apparent accidental shooting.
The event is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, in the Save Mart parking lot, 1900 Anderson Road in Davis.
Donations also continue to be accepted on GoFundMe, which as of Wednesday had raised more than $16,000 for the Vargas family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jered-leroy-vargas.
“The Vargas family would like to extend their sincere gratitude for every person that contributed, everyone that has kept them in prayer and came out to the car wash/bake sale” held last weekend in Woodland, organizer Carmen Castellanos wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Your generous gift will have a major impact on helping lay Jerred to rest.”
Vargas, 19, died Feb. 6 after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest, which Davis police said was reported as accidental gunfire inside the family’s East Davis apartment. The incident remains under investigation.
