Hesperia Man Killed in Rancho Cucamonga Shooting

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – A Rancho Cucamonga man who is known to teach school-aged children how to play instruments has been arrested for possession of child pornography.

On Thursday, April 4, 2019, as a result of an investigation into the possession of child pornography, detectives served a search warrant in the 6500 block of Napa Avenue. The investigation began on February 27, 2019, after receiving a Cybertip referral that child pornography was downloaded from the Internet Protocol (IP) address. Through investigation, detectives learned that the IP address belonged to a Rancho Cucamonga home.

During the search, evidence of child pornography being downloaded onto computers in the home were located. Terry Li, 25, of Rancho Cucamonga, was the suspect who downloaded the child pornography authorities said. Although Li was not home when the search warrant was served, he later went into the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department to be interviewed. Li was subsequently arrested for the possession of child pornography.

Authorities said that Li worked as a part-time music coach teaching school-age kids in the area how to play percussion instruments. Detectives are attempting to identify anyone who may have been victimized by Li.

Li was booked into the West Valley Detention Center for PC 311.11. On April 5, 2019, Li posted a $25,000 bail bond and was released from custody. Li is scheduled to be arraigned on May 21, 2019, at the San Bernardino County Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.
