Pauma Valley Man Arrested for Bloomington Carjacking, Accomplice Held on Firearm Charges
In the early hours of August 19, 2024, a moment of altruism turned violent at the intersection of Larch Avenue and Slover Avenue in Bloomington when Dalton Alvarado, a 19-year-old from Pauma Valley, leveled guns at people who had stopped merely to offer assistance after a traffic accident. According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department, the victims, whose identities remain confidential, were checking on the parties involved in the crash when Alvarado, wielding a rifle and a handgun, attacked one of them with the pistol and forcefully seized the vehicle of another before fleeing the scene.
