Terrance Coates, 38, of San Bernardino, was shot and killed on the evening of February 10, 2022. Police received a 911 call about a shooting at about 7:56 PM in the 1300 block of North Arrowhead Avenue; officers found Coates in his vehicle with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives opened an immediate investigation.

Detectives identified an 18-year-old San Bernardino resident, Quintin Stringfellow, as the primary suspect and linked the same vehicle to a separate fatal shooting on February 4, 2022, of Emmett Marcus Stokes. Investigators located and arrested Stringfellow on February 16, 2022, after a brief foot pursuit in Redlands; a handgun believed to be connected to one of the shootings was recovered nearby. Stringfellow was charged with two counts of murder and booked into jail.

Anyone with information about Coates, his movements that evening, or these events is asked to contact the San Bernardino Police Department.
