Two suspects were arrested in connection with hate crime incidents targeting Black victims in San Bernardino County.
The suspects were identified as Michael Razo, 22, of Highland and Humberto Silva, 24, of Colton, according to the Fontana Police Department.
Officers have been working with the Fontana Sheriff’s Station for several months to investigate the incidents.
In each case, the pair allegedly targeted homeless victims at bus stops. They would pull up in their vehicle and shoot at the victims with a paintball gun while screaming racial slurs. In several incidents, the victims were injured, police said.

“We believe there may be additional victims and we ask you to come forward to report these incidents to us,” the police department said.
Anyone who may have been a victim or has additional information is asked to call Fontana police at 909-350-7700.
