SUMMARY: On Friday, December 2, 2022, at about 9:30 a.m., Fontana Station Deputies Andrade and Ramirez responded to a call for service at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) to investigate an assault.

Deputies spoke to a female victim with severe injuries to her face and upper body she sustained from a domestic violence related assault. 

Deputies conducted their investigation and learned the victim had been beaten, tortured, raped and stabbed by her estranged boyfriend, Anthony Edgar Radillo. Radillo took the victim up to Lytle Creek in a secluded area where he beat, raped, and stabbed her multiple times in the face and upper body.

The victim feared Radillo would kill her and pleaded for her life. She convinced Radillo to drive her to a Walmart in Rialto to get medical supplies to treat her injuries.  Radillo reluctantly drove her to the Walmart,  where the victim ran inside and called 9-1-1. 

Officers from the Rialto Police Department responded and obtained medical aid for the victim. Radillo fled the location in his vehicle prior to the arrival of law enforcement.  The victim was transported to ARMC and stabilized.

Andrade and Ramirez obtained assistance from station detectives and authored an arrest warrant for Radillo. Detectives discovered Radillo was on felony probation for domestic violence and was homeless staying in the Rialto area, living in his vehicle. 

Through continued investigation, detectives obtained information regarding a possible location for Radillo's vehicle in Fontana. Detectives located Radillo's vehicle in a parking lot unoccupied.  Detectives entered a public building and located Radillo where he was taken into custody without further incident.

Radillo was booked in at the West Valley Detention Center for numerous felony charges and remains in custody without bail
