PERRIS — Sheriff’s officials have released very few details, other than to confirm they are investigating a murder after a man was fatally shot in the area of Ruby and Turquoise drives in Perris Saturday morning, Jan. 19. No suspects have been identified or apprehended and Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit investigators are “actively working all leads,” according to Riverside Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Brosche.

That’s pretty close to the neighborhood where I once lived in terror. It’s a very bad area, close to the high school. Unbelievable amount of “riff raff” around here, not to mention graffiti, loitering, littering, and deafening noise.
