Ontario, CA – The Ontario Police Department has arrested two suspects involved in a 2021 shooting that led to the death of 18-year-old Jesus Sanchez.         

On May 31, 2023, the Ontario Police Department served two search warrants and successfully arrested both suspects without incident. During the search of these locations, two additional firearms were located, along with numerous rounds of ammunition, extended magazines, and a ballistic vest. Both arrestees are adult males, however they were juveniles at the time of the crime. For this reason, we are unable to release their names or any identifying information. Both males are currently being held at the San Bernardino County Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center.               

This investigation began with limited information and evidence, but the consistent and diligent work by investigators led to a successful conclusion. While the actual prosecution of this case is just beginning, we hope these arrests help to bring to closure the Sanchez family. We would like to thank the Sanchez family for their continued support and assistance during this difficult time.           

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ontario Police Department at 909-986-6711 or Detective Mena at 909-408-1769. Information may also be reported anonymously by calling WE-TIP at 78-CRIME or online at www.wetip.com.
