Rocky Juarez, 41, was found dead at his San Bernardino residence on November 29, 2020, the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department treated the death as a homicide and opened an immediate investigation.

Investigators noted Juarez had a criminal history that included arrests for assault with a firearm, inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, and making threats of violence. Detectives focused on people who had known conflicts with him; forensic evidence later linked a suspect to the scene. A man with a reported history of disputes with Juarez was arrested and charged with murder and is awaiting trial. The defense has argued mitigating circumstances in the confrontation while the prosecution alleges the killing was premeditated.

What did anyone who knew Rocky or his conflicts notice in the months before November 29, 2020?
