RIVERSIDE, CA — A man who allegedly gunned down his 75-year-old housemate and tried to kill his girlfriend during a dispute at their south Riverside residence was charged Thursday with murder and other offenses.
Gunfire erupted Easter Sunday in a fatal midday shooting in a Riverside gated community, according to police. One man was killed, and a woman was wounded.
A man accused of shooting to death a Riverside resident in October 2023 had slipped out of a hospital unnoticed 12 days before the killing after being detained following a crash at the end of a pursuit, the Riverside Police Department said.
