A Westminster man was shot to death in front of customers at a shopping mall in San Bernardino Friday afternoon, police said. Richard Mendez, 28, was pronounced dead at a hospital after the attack at 2:30 p.m. in a public area of the Inland Center mall, Sgt. Ernie Lemos said. Mendez was shot during an argument, and the gunman fled with two other men in a car that was parked near the mall, police said. The cause of the argument was not immediately determined.

A suspect who was seen driving a vehicle used during the drive-by shooting of a San Bernardino sheriff's deputy is in custody, authorities said. The deputy was preparing to serve an eviction notice when he was shot Tuesday morning. He is listed in good condition. The shooting occured after two deputies were ambushed as they sat outside an apartment complex by someone who fired into one of the sheriff's cruiser's from another car. Only one of the deputies was struck. The man taken into custody was spotted by a San Bernardino police sergeant later in the day, authorities said.
