On May 17 at about 1:04 a.m., Fontana P.D. officers were notified by Fontana deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department that their helicopter located a vehicle in the Jurupa Hills area of Alder Avenue, south of Jurupa Avenue.

Deputies found a man, later identified as Robert John Castaneda, deceased in a vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head.  Castaneda was a 41-year-old Fontana resident.

The investigation, which was turned over to the Fontana P.D., is ongoing.
