ONTARIO, Calif. – As part of the ongoing efforts to locate and apprehend the man accused of fatally shooting three of his family members in Montclair, authorities released photos of the suspect on Tuesday.
The primary suspect in the triple homicide, Pete Renteria, 29, was identified last week after the incident occurred on January 31.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department reported that three of Renteria’s family members, 68-year-old Sonia Ramirez, 66-year-old George Ramirez, and 43-year-old David Ramirez, were found shot to death in a home located in the 4800 block of Ramona Place.
Despite searches by authorities, Renteria’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Authorities did not reveal a possible motive. Although, a relative of Pete Renteria told The San Gabriel Valley Tribune the suspect, ‘who he believed had a good relationship with those in the home, acted differently when he was not taking medication.’
