They responded to the
residence in the 12000 block of Arrow Bear Trail in California Valley nine
times since 2012 and the SLOCO Sheriff’s department said many times, it was for
a person with mental health issues. This
last time was on Monday. That is where
they found Edward Chavez Mendoza and his son, Eduardo
Mendoza Jr. both shot to death. During
previous investigations, deputies found hundreds of marijuana plants and were
told that the pair was scaling back their operation because of the new laws
limiting marijuana grows. As deputies
investigated on Monday, they found 4 handguns, 2 shotguns and body armor. One
of the handguns was reported stolen from the San Bernardino area. The coroner will do autopsies on the father and
son tomorrow.
