A 46-year-old man suspected in two shootings on Palomar Mountain was taken into custody Tuesday, sheriff’s officials said.<\/p>\n

Deputies assigned to the Valley Center Sheriff’s Substation began investigating the latest shooting following a victim’s report on Feb. 23, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

The victim told deputies that he was parked along a dirt road shoulder in the 32900 block of South Grade Road near the summit of Palomar Mountain, looking at the stars, moments before being approached by a man who then produced a handgun, sheriff’s officials said.<\/p>\n

The suspect fired a single round through the driver’s side window as the victim was sitting inside the vehicle before fleeing the scene in an unspecified vehicle.<\/p>\n

The victim did not sustain any injuries during the shooting, authorities said, noting that a similar incident and a\u00a0previous shooting had occurred on Oct. 6, 2025<\/a>\u00a0— striking the victim in the arm — leading to investigators developing probable cause to identify the suspect as Richardo Berron.<\/p>\n

Berron was taken into custody on Tuesday at the San Diego International Airport. During the investigation, a search warrant was served at Berron’s residence in Chula Vista, where deputies located a 9mm handgun believed to be connected to at least one of the shootings, authorities said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 46-year-old man suspected in two shootings on Palomar Mountain was taken into custody Tuesday, sheriff’s officials said.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,18477,74,1856,1857,1858,76,75,1855,15774],"class_list":["post-214997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-california","tag-palomar-mountain","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-celebrities","tag-san-diego-concerts","tag-san-diego-events","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-san-diego-photos","tag-shootings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
