Antonio Morales was an 18-year-old Chaffey High School student who was shot dead just after midnight on March 27, 2019, while walking with friends to a nearby liquor store in Ontario, California. According to accounts, Morales was struck in the chest when an unknown assailant or assailants opened fire near the intersection of Rosewood Court and Del Norte Avenue; seven or eight shots were heard and his friends ran for cover and were not injured.

The Ontario Police Department investigated the shooting; witnesses said a vehicle was seen leaving the scene but there was no detailed description of the car or suspects reported immediately and no arrests were made at that time. Family and friends described Morales as a good kid not involved in gang activity, and police said the motive was unclear.

The case remained unsolved with investigators continuing to seek leads. If anyone has information about what happened that night or about a vehicle leaving Rosewood Court and Del Norte Avenue, please come forward.
