In an effort to combat the unsolved homicide rate in San Bernardino, the investigative division has taken an innovative approach to soliciting public attention and assistance through investigative videos. SBPD is requesting media assistance through the sharing of the video and social media posts to help solve the murder of 25-year-old Oriana Taylor.
