Detectives identified 54-year-old James Edward Posey of Memphis, Tennessee, as the primary suspect. A warrant for murder was issued on April 15, 2022, and Posey was arrested in Memphis on April 27 and extradited to San Bernardino County to face charges. Authorities have not disclosed a motive and the investigation was ongoing.
