SUMMARY: On Sunday, November 9, 2014, at approximately 7:54 a.m., John Mohr was transported via ambulance from his residence in the Melody Land Mobile Home Park to Redlands Community Hospital, unconscious and unresponsive. On Monday, November 10, 2014, at approximately 12:43 p.m., Mohr was pronounced deceased at Redlands Community Hospital. Due to the unknown circumstances surrounding Mohr's death, detectives from the Sheriff's Specialized Investigations Division, Homicide Detail, were requested to conduct an investigation. Over the period of the last year, detectives interviewed numerous people associated with Mohr and Steven Zoll.
Detectives learned Zoll assaulted Mohr, several times over a period of several weeks, prior to Mohr's death. Following an investigation by detectives and a review of medical records the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Coroner Division ruled Mohr's death a homicide. On Tuesday, February 2, 2016, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office charged Zoll with murder and a warrant was obtained for his arrest.
On Thursday, February 4, 2016, Deputy Roger Loftis of the Yucaipa Sheriff's Station, developed information Zoll was possibly in the Calimesa area. With assistance from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, Zoll was located and arrested. Zoll was booked into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
