Boris Bernabe Sanchez was 22 and a resident of Highland, California when he was found with gunshot wounds and later died on January 11, 2021 in San Bernardino. The shooting was reported about 10:57 p.m. on North Little Mountain Drive. San Bernardino police opened a homicide investigation and said early reports indicated Sanchez had been targeted; investigators canvassed the area, interviewed people and collected evidence and surveillance leads.

Authorities reported difficulties identifying suspects or making arrests because of a lack of immediate witnesses and concrete evidence. Court records show Sanchez had faced unrelated criminal charges filed February 19, 2020, for vehicle registration and driving without a license; those proceedings were not linked to his killing. The case remained unsolved and the investigation active; family and community members held vigils and asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone witnessed the January 11 shooting or has surveillance footage from North Little Mountain Drive that night, please share what you know.
