Ex-TV reporter allegedly turned roadside gunman, grilled victims on ethnicity before opening fire

A former San Diego TV journalist is now accused of carrying out racially motivated shootings on a secluded mountain highway — allegedly questioning victims about their ethnicity before pulling the trigger.

San Diego County deputies arrested 46-year-old Ricardo Berron on Tuesday, March 10, at San Diego International Airport as he was preparing to leave for a vacation. Authorities said forensic evidence linked the former Univision and Telemundo reporter to two separate shootings on Palomar Mountain.
