Investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit arrested 51-year-old Anthony Miera for suspicion of murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old Raymond Cardenas on June 18, 2006, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Jarred Bishop.

Cardenas was found inside a home in the 1000 block of Citrus Street and pronounced dead at the scene, Bishop said.

“Although Miera was identified as a suspect, there was insufficient evidence to charge him during the initial investigation, and the case went cold,” Bishop said.

The sheriff’s Cold Case Unit reopened the case in August, he said. “After conducting additional investigation, the Cold Case Unit developed sufficient evidence to charge Miera.”

Miera was arrested without incident in Spring Valley Friday and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, Bishop said.

The investigation is ongoing, he said. Anyone with information helpful to investigators was asked to call Lead Investigator Dan Brown of the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777.
