Man accused of shooting brother multiple times in violent dispute

Police in Chino have arrested a man who they say shot his own brother multiple times after a verbal dispute turned violent.

Just before 1 a.m. Saturday, officers from the Chino Police Department responded to the 6600 block of Riverside Drive for a report of a shooting.

There they found a 34-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The man was transported to a local hospital and is currently listed in stable condition, police said.

Detectives began investigating the shooting and determined that it took place inside the victim’s home and the alleged gunman was his own brother, 21-year-old Bernardo Cardenas of Chino.

Investigators believe the two men were involved in a verbal dispute that escalated into violence, with Cardenas pulling a gun and firing.

Cardenas was not at at the scene when officers responded but was located later that day in the town of Vista in San Diego County. He was arrested and returned to San Bernardino County and booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga where he’s being held without bail.

He was expected to appear in court Tuesday to face charges for attempted murder.

The shooting remains under investigation and anyone with information is urged to contact Chino PD detectives Reginald Barber at 909-334-3144, or Franklin Ike at 909-334-3035.

Chilling video shows violent attack on woman at L.A. Metro station

WARNING: Images and video contain graphic violence

Chilling video of a brutally violent attack on a woman at an Los Angeles Metro station in Pasadena shows the terrifying moments a man beat, punched and stomped her and tried to throw her into oncoming traffic on the 210 Freeway.  

The Aug. 7 incident occurred at around 5:30 a.m. at the Allen Metro station along the Metro A Line.  

Footage of the incident obtained by KTLA, which is disturbing and difficult to watch, shows the victim repeatedly being dragged into the carpool lane of the busy 210 freeway as cars whiz seemingly within inches of running her over and she fights to survive.  

Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department believe the attack was random, resulting from a chance encounter with the suspect, now identified as 33-year-old Juan Pablo.

The 33-year-old, who was arrested shortly after the attack, has since been charged by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office with felony attempted murder and felony mayhem.  

He is being held on $2,000,000 bail.

The victim, who narrowly escaped with her life, may now suffer “long-term disfigurement, and has had to return to the hospital due to infections with her injuries, including broken bones, bruises and deep lacerations requiring stitches, according to LASD.  

The incident, say some Metro riders, serves as a stark reminder of the violence that has plagued public transit in Southern California, particularly in Los Angeles.  

Nandi Hughes, a young mother who depends on the train to get to and from her job as an in-home caretaker, said she feels safe most of the time, but that she stays vigilant.  

“Always looking left and right, paying attention to what’s going on,” she told KTLA’s Chris Wolfe.

Another Metro rider, Dana Terrance, told KTLA that she feels safe enough on public transit, but avoids using it later in the night.

“I don’t have a car, so it’s my only means of transportation,” she explained. “I don’t go on the Metro past 10 p.m.”  

Local leaders say they are working on increased safety measures for public transportation in L.A., namely with a heavier law enforcement presence and the possibility of Metro creating its own police force.  

As for Flores, if convicted as charged, he could face life in prison.

4 men charged in slaying of 'General Hospital' actor Johnny Wactor

Four people arrested earlier this month in connection with the shooting death of “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor have been charged, officials with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced.  

Wactor was shot and killed May 25 as he and a coworker, Anita Joy, were walking to their cars in downtown L.A. just before 3:30 a.m. after their shifts at the Moxy Hotel, located at 1260 South Figueroa Boulevard.  

As he and Joy approached his vehicle, they stumbled upon three men stealing his catalytic converter.  

Prosecutors say that one of the men, 18-year-old Robert Barceleau, allegedly shot Wactor once in the chest moments before the trio fled the area. The 37-year-old was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

Barceleau and his two accomplices were able to evade police until their arrest on Aug. 15. A fourth person was also taken into custody as an accessory to the crime.

The four men have been charged with the following: 

  • Robert Barceleau, 18, of Huntington Park was charged with one count of murder with special circumstances of murder during an attempted robbery and personal use of a firearm; one count of attempted robbery with personal use of a firearm; and one count of grand theft with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm 
  • Leonel Guitierrez, 18, of L.A. County was charged with one count of attempted robbery with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm; and one count of grand theft with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm 
  • Sergio Estrada, 18, of L.A. County was charged with one count of murder with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm; one count of attempted robbery with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm; and one count of grand theft with an allegation of principal armed with a firearm 
  • Frank Olano, 22, of Inglewood was charged with one count of accessory after the fact to murder; one count of receiving stolen property; and three counts of being a felon with a firearm 

“Johnny Wactor’s life was senselessly taken while he was simply walking to his parked car in downtown Los Angeles. We are committed to seeking justice for Mr. Wactor and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions,” District Attorney Gascón said in a news release. “Mr. Wactor’s work and presence touched the lives of many, and our hearts go out to his family, friends and the entire community who mourn this devastating loss.” 

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass thanked investigators with the Los Angeles Police Department “for their work and partnership throughout the investigation and for their continued efforts to keep Angelenos safe and to bring justice to victims of violence.”  

Barceleau is being held without bail. Estrada is being held on $2,070,000 bail and Olano on $1,080,000 bail. Gutierrez’ bail was set at $120,000.  

If convicted as charged, Barceleau faces life in prison without parole. Estrada faces a maximum of life, while Olano could get nearly six years in prison and Gutierrez could see a sentence of nearly five years.
