A former San Diego TV journalist who once reported for Spanish-language outlets is accused of carrying out two separate shootings along a scenic overlook on Palomar Mountain, allegedly opening fire on victims after asking about their ethnicity.
Ricardo Berron, a 46-year-old former reporter for Univision and Telemundo stations, was arrested March 10 at San Diego International Airport, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. He has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the attacks. Prosecutors are also seeking hate crimes enhancements, Fox5 reports.
