Nicholas Barela, described as a young Hispanic male, was found stabbed to death on McKinley Street in Chino, California, on July 4, 1998. The killing occurred on a holiday that should have been celebratory, and it left his family and community grieving.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department lists the case as an open cold case. Despite local efforts, no suspects have been publicly identified. Authorities continue to ask anyone with information to come forward to help resolve the investigation.

Are there witnesses, neighbors, or anyone who remembers that area of McKinley Street around July 4, 1998, who can provide information?
