Deputies detained all occupants of the home and authored a search warrant for the residence and vehicles. Deputies served the search warrant without incident and located the suspected assault rifle used during the shooting, along with additional evidence related to the investigation. Robles and Artiaga were arrested and transported to West Valley Detention Center, where they were booked without incident. Any victims in the area as a result of the shooting are encouraged to call the Fontana Station Detectives for assistance.
