FBI serves warrant at home of San Bernardino mass shooter's brother

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller confirmed via text message that a warrant had been served at the Corona home Syed Raheel Farook in the 1700 block of Forum Way in Corona this moing.

More information was expected to be available later in the moing from the U.S. Attoey, she said.

In February, federal agents executed a search warrant at Farook’s Corona home, where he and his mother live.

Investigators took a computer tower, large envelopes and bags from the house on Forum Way, but made no arrests that day.

At the time, Eimiller said the affidavit in support of the warrant was sealed by the court.

Syed Raheel Farook’s brother, Syed Rizwan Farook, was one of the shooters who killed 14 people and wounded 22 others in the terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center on Dec. 2.

Raheel Farook, his wife, Tatiana, their child and his father, Syed Farook, all live in the Corona townhouse.

Raheel, a U.S. Navy veteran, eaed medals in the war on terrorism.

In the past, neighbors have described Raheel as a clean-cut, personable loan officer. In high school in 2002, Raheel organized an event to resolve conflict and address racism.

Tatiana and her sister, Mariya Cheykh, are under scrutiny after Riverside resident Enrique Marquez Jr. reportedly told investigators that he was being paid $200 a month for marrying Cheykh. Both women are Russian natives, and there is conce that the marriages were arranged to illegally ease the women’s path to U.S. citizenship.

Rafia Farook, mother of Rizwan and Raheel, has also been living at the Corona home, apparently since moving belongings out of the Redlands townhouse she shared with the shooters.
