A 58-year-old man has been arrested by police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in connection with an alleged murder late last month in San Bernardino County, officials announced Wednesday.
The violence, according to a news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, broke out on Nov. 25 in the 13100 block of Joliet Drive in Rancho Cucamonga just after 7:30 p.m.
Responding deputies found the victim, 43-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident Josh Watson, injured and non responsive. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and, despite lifesaving measures, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
SBSD’s Specialized Investigations Division, Homicide Detail assumed the case and learned that when the 43-year-old arrived home, he had been contacted by the suspect, now identified as Mira Loma resident Paul Warren.
“During the encounter, Watson received lethal injuries, and the suspect fled the area before deputies arrived,” the release noted.
A warrant was issued for Warren’s arrest and on Dec. 9, he was arrested by detectives with the Philadelphia Police Department and is awaiting extradition to Southern California, SBSD said.
Authorities did not elaborate on how Warren allegedly killed the 43-year-old, nor did they provide any type of motive for the lethal encounter, but Watson’s former coworkers at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System have said it could have been work-related.
An investigation into the matter is ongoing and additional information will be released when available, authorities added.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact SBSD’s Det. Eduardo Badillo with Specialized Investigations Division at 909-890-4904. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the We-Tip Hotline at 800-782-7463 or leave tips online at www.wetip.com.
