Man wanted for 2024 Oregon murder arrested in Southern CaliforniaA man wanted for an alleged murder in Oregon in 2024 was arrested in Southern California last week, according to authorities. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said the Portland Police Bureau began investigating a fatal shooting in late 2024 that led them to issue an arrest warrant for 26-year-old Loma Linda/Redlands resident Rodney Rogers. Investigators determined Rogers had fled from Oregon to the San Bernardino County area. Deputies with SBSD's Specialized Enforcement Division, who also work as Deputy U.S. Marshals, were contacted by members of the U.S. Marshals Service's Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force for assistance in locating Rogers. Investigators learned Rogers was linked to Loma Linda and on July 2 received information indicating he was in the area. Acting on that information and employing a variety of investigative techniques, SED investigators located Rogers at a business in the 25000 block of Barton Road. SED investigators safely took Rogers into custody without incident. The SBSD release did not provide specific details on the deadly shooting from late 2024 that Rogers was allegedly connected to. The victim's identity remains confidential as their investigation continues.
