California Cold Case: Sketches Released After 20 Years

Detectives in California are actively pursuing new leads in the 2007 homicide of Eliseo Salas, a 36-year-old resident of Rancho Cucamonga. Approximately 20 years after Salas was fatally shot at a large party on July 15, 2007, composite sketches of three potential suspects have been released. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department stated that new evidence has prompted them to re-examine the cold case and seek public assistance. The sketches were created based on witness descriptions, and investigators are appealing to the community to help identify these individuals. Salas' case is one of many unsolved homicides in San Bernardino County from the 2005-2009 period. Separately, in a different Southern California cold case, authorities recently arrested a suspect in a 1994 stabbing, aided by DNA evidence.
