Armando Andrez Cayetano, 40, a male of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, was caught in a confrontation that began as a dispute between motorists just after midday on October 27, 2025, in Colton. At about 12:36 p.m., police were called to the area near North Rancho Avenue and West Valley Boulevard, where officers found him gravely wounded. He was rushed to a local hospital but did not survive.
Officials later identified him as a resident of San Bernardino, and the early account described a roadway altercation that erupted into violence before the other driver fled.
Detectives took over within hours, working leads that pointed to a 19-year-old from Bloomington. That evening, investigators arrested Lorens Cota in connection with the killing. He was booked into the West Valley Detention Center and, according to authorities, held without bail as the case proceeded. The account from police framed the episode as a road-rage homicide, tracing it from a brief clash at the intersection to a desperate search for the fleeing suspect that ended with an arrest the same night.
