Donald Bridgewater, 58, was booked last Thursday on suspicion of murder in the Oct. 28, 1995, slaying of William Goins at his home in the 10600 block of 2nd Avenue, Inglewood police said in a statement.
Goins had stab wounds in his head and neck, department officials said. There was evidence of a struggle. At the time, Bridgewater was one of several suspects in the killing, but police were unable to link him to the case.
The case went unsolved. But in March 2008, the Inglewood Police Department formed a Cold Case Unit to review and investigate 472 unsolved murders in the city since 1971.
The unit includes three retired police homicide detectives working under the department's homicide unit.
Investigators reopened the Goins case and submitted physical evidence from the crime scene to the Orange County Crime Lab for DNA analysis. Bridgewater is being held in lieu of $1,050,000.00 Dollar bail.
