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.
