In the quiet hours of early Sunday morning in Victorville, a tragic event unfolded resulting in the death of a local man. Keith Tolliver, 65, was found suffering from stab wounds inside a home on the 13700 block of Mesa View Drive at approximately 1:30 a.m. and was later pronounced dead at the hospital, as reported by KTLA. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department rapidly came to treat an incident turning out to be far graver than everyday domestic disturbances.
Further investigation by the SBSD led them to quickly identify the deceased's girlfriend, Carol Johnson, a 60-year-old resident of Victorville, as the sole suspect in what they have now classified as a murder. In a harrowing twist of fate, what may have started as intimacy ended in irrevocable violence. Johnson was arrested and incarcerated at the High Desert Detention Center, facing murder charges without the possibility of bail, as detailed by the SBSD Headquarters.
Authorities are currently urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward. Contact points have been established at the Homicide Detail, where Detective D. Gosswiller can be reached at 909-890-4904, as per the SBSD Headquarters.
