Tragedy struck a San Bernardino neighborhood last week when shots rang out on 13th Street and Acacia Avenue, leaving a juvenile dead. The incident occurred on Wednesday, March 27, at about 3:29 PM. In the chaos, dispatchers were flooded with calls about juveniles firing guns, setting law enforcement on an immediate path to the scene, according to the City of San Bernardino.
Detectives arrived to find the young victim suffering from a gunshot wound, having been caught in what sounds like senseless urban violence. After being transported to a local hospital, efforts to save him proved futile. The San Bernardino Police's Homicide Unit, now shouldering the burden of this investigation, is pushing hard to track down those responsible, as per the City of San Bernardino.
The police are keeping details close to the chest but have pleaded with the community for help. They believe that someone out there holds the key to unlocking this case. Homicide Detective T. Montez and Sergeant J. Plummer are the primary contacts for anyone brave enough to step forward with information that could lead to an arrest. The officials can be reached at (909) 384-5762 and (909) 384-5613, respectively.
