Swift arrest made after fatal shooting of Jurupa Valley man behind Riverside apartments
RIVERSIDE, Calif., — Authorities say an early morning shooting that left a Jurupa Valley man dead behind a Riverside apartment complex in the Wood Streets neighborhood led to the quick apprehension of the alleged gunman. The Riverside man was arrested less than twelve hours after the deadly Saturday morning, July 10, shooting.
Riverside Police Department reported last night that the fatal shooting was the result of a verbal argument between two men outside the Riviera Arms, in the 5300 block of Olivewood Avenue, between Bandini Avenue and Ramona Drive.

City of Riverside police and fire personnel were dispatched to the apartment complex around 12:30 a.m. after the City’s Public Safety Communications Center received several 911 calls “of screams and shots heard”, RPD said last night.
Responding officials located a victim to the rear of the apartment complex suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim, who has since been identified as Raul Hernandez Ramirez, 23-years-old, of Jurupa Valley, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by paramedics.

Detectives with the department’s Robbery – Homicide Unit, along with specialists from the Forensics Unit, responded and assumed the investigation. They were assisted by the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office and the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
During their preliminary investigation, officials learned the victim had been involved in an argument with the suspect.
“At some point during this argument, the suspect produced a handgun and fatally shot the victim,” RPD explained; while not saying if it was known what the pair had been arguing about just before the deadly shooting.
As their investigation was continuing into the afternoon, detectives developed leads and gathered information that led them to identifying Luis Angel Sanchez, 19, of Riverside, as the suspected gunman.
