San Bernardino County man arrested after fatal highway shooting


A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with a fatal shooting during a conflict between two drivers in San Bernardino County, authorities said.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said Abel Nunez-Alejandre, a resident of Eastvale in northwest Riverside County, was arrested a day after the shooting.

On Thursday afternoon, officers found Roger Albarran, 52, of Fontana with a gunshot wound in his Honda Civic in the 14100 block of Arrow Route in Fontana. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Homicide detectives said Albarran was driving north on Etiwanda Avenue when he had a “road rage incident” with the driver of a GMC Yukon, who they said was Nunez-Alejandre. Officers said Núñez-Alejandre fired a pistol at Albarrán, who lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a parked car.

Nunez-Alejandre was booked into the West Valley Detention Center, where he remained held without bond, the Sheriff's Department said.
