Deputies assigned to the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station and other emergency personnel were initially dispatched to the area of Jurupa Road and Felspar Street around 12:34 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting victim, Riverside Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit Sergeant Ben Ramirez has since reported.

When officials arrived they were directed to a male gunshot victim according to Ramirez; who said, “Emergency lifesaving efforts were performed, and the male was transported by paramedics to a local hospital.”

The victim’s current condition was not immediately available and it was not known if the person was expected to survive their gunshot injuries.

Deputies located and secured a shooting crime scene on Jurupa Road, between Stone Ave. and Agate Street, and requested the Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit, who ultimately assumed the shooting investigation.

“The investigation revealed the victim was traveling westbound on Jurupa Rd. in a vehicle, when several gunshots were fired at the victim,” said Ramirez; adding, “The investigation is currently ongoing and no further information will be released at this time.”

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is encouraged to call Investigator Ko at the Jurupa Valley Station at (951) 955-2600 or Investigator Castaneda with the Central Homicide Unit at (951) 955-2777. Callers can refer to incident file number JV211830002 and can remain anonymous. Citizens may also submit a tip using the Sheriff’s Homicide Tipline online form.
