Elias Perez Alvarez, a Pomona resident who ran a landscaping business, was found dead inside his vehicle on La Mesa Road in Victorville on December 6, 2005. At the time he primarily worked in Pomona, not in Victor Valley, and why he was in Victorville that day is unclear.

The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Investigators have made little progress identifying suspects or motives, and authorities continue to seek information from the public, including anonymous tips. Alvarez’s family is still seeking answers.

If anyone has information about Alvarez’s movements in late 2005 or why he might have been in Victorville, please contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
