Prosecutors have not disclosed what led investigators to the suspects.

Overview

  • Jose Roque-Garcia, 50, Carlos Herrera, 42, Marco Herrera, 41, and Franco Dominguez, 43, were booked in the decades-old case.
  • All four are being held without bail and are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in downtown San Diego.
  • Authorities say Cunningham, 22, was beaten with a variety of weapons on La Bella’s Pizza Garden patio before one attacker stabbed him.
  • The assailants fled in two vehicles and Cunningham later died at a hospital, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
  • County jail records show Roque-Garcia has been in custody since December on a separate South Bay murder case, and officials have not said whether prior public appeals or tips led to these arrests.
