DA Charges San Bernardino man with three counts of Murder

A San Bernardino man has been charged with multiple counts of murder following a violent shooting spree that took place over the weekend.

Louis Peter Hernandez III, was arrested Sunday, one day after he “is alleged to have shot and killed his girlfriend and another victim at a residence in Fontana, then shot and killed his ex-girlfriend in Riverside County,” the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

Hernandez is alleged to have had a fourth altercation with a surviving gunshot victim also in Riverside County, which is pending investigation.

The release went on to say Hernandez has “a history of violence including auto theft, assault with a firearm, and evading a police officer,” and he faces additional special allegations and circumstances on the murder charges which create the potential for this to be a capital case.

Hernandez plead not guilty during his arraignment on Wednesday, November 29th. He is being held without bail at the West Valley Detention Center.
