Rogelio Gonzalez, aged 41, tragically passed away on May 22, 2022, in Bloomington, California. Born on October 26, 1980, in Torrance, CA, Rogelio was known by his nickname "Goofie." He spent his early years in Southern California, moving between Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his life, including involvement in gang activities and multiple incarcerations, Rogelio had recently been working to turn his life around. He had developed a passion for building and repairing motorcycles, which became a source of income and a way to find peace.
On the morning of May 22, 2022, Rogelio planned to visit his brother Eduardo's grave, marking the anniversary of Eduardo's death. Eduardo had been shot and killed in Bloomington on May 22, 2009. Tragically, while visiting his brother's grave at Green Acres Memorial Park and Crematory, Rogelio was shot and killed. The incident occurred around 12:40 p.m., and despite efforts by deputies and paramedics, Rogelio was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect fled immediately after the shooting, and no suspect information was available at the time.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department launched an investigation into Rogelio's murder. However, as of the latest updates, no arrests have been made, and the suspect remains at large. The authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in solving the case. Rogelio's death, occurring on the same date and in close proximity to his brother's murder, has left a profound impact on his family and community. His life, marked by loyalty and resilience, is remembered by those who knew him.
