Rebecca Haro Arrested in Death of 7-Month-Old Emmanuel Haro, Authorities Call It Murder With Malice Intent
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities have confirmed the arrests of Jake Haro and Rebecca Renee Haro in connection with the death of their 7-month-old son, Emmanuel Haro.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced the arrests on Friday, describing the case as a homicide carried out with malice aforethought.
According to investigators, Emmanuel’s mother, Rebecca Haro, initially reported that her son had been kidnapped from a parking lot while she was changing his diaper. However, further investigation revealed evidence contradicting her account, leading to her arrest.
Rebecca Renee Haro has since been booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on charges of murder with malice.
She is being held without bail, and court records indicate her next hearing is scheduled for August 26, 2025, at the Riverside Hall of Justice.
Authorities also confirmed that her husband, Jake Haro, was arrested in connection with the case, though his booking information has not yet been publicly posted.
Officials noted that this could mean he is still in the process of being booked, or that his records have not yet been made available.
The case has drawn public outrage, particularly given Jake Haro’s criminal history.
He was reportedly on probation for previously injuring a baby and was out on bond for an unrelated firearm possession charge at the time of Emmanuel’s death.
Community members and legal experts are questioning how Haro was able to remain free despite his record, with many pointing to broader concerns about California’s criminal justice and bail system.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has not released further details about the circumstances of Emmanuel’s death, citing the ongoing investigation.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
