The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 56-year-old Rene Tactay Jaime of Las Vegas.
 
According to Escondido police, the fatal incident happened in the 2100 block of East Valley Parkway at Pearl Car Wash, a self-service station that has an automatic drive-thru car wash.
