INLAND EMPIRE, CA — After more than a month of investigation by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, a 16-year-old juvenile was arrested in the death of a 19-year-old Riverside man.
The male juvenile from Fontana was taken into custody on Jan. 2 by sheriff's investigators and booked into the San Bernardino County Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of murder. The teen's identity was not released due to his age.
