On Tuesday, 6-24-14, during the early afternoon hours, San Bernardino Police officers responded to a residence regarding suspicious circumstances. An officer forced entry into a secured bedroom of that residence and located two deceased men, dead of gunshot wounds. A handgun was located near one of the men.

Based on the investigation, and evidence at the scene, it clearly showed that this was a murder-suicide event, investigators said. The victim, whose name has not been released, was the tenant and the suspect, identified as Ephraim Lincoln, 49, of Fontana, was his landlord.

The motive for the shooting appears to stem from a physical altercation that occurred between the suspect and victim the night before the shooting.
