Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded to the 20900 block of Verta Street around 9:50 p.m. Saturday to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon.

Upon arrival, deputies located a woman, later identified as 56-year-old Guadalupe Laborin of Mead Valley suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Laborin was pronounced dead at the scene.

Laborin’s son, identified as 26-year-old Julio Garcia of Mead Valley, was also found at the scene suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the sheriff’s department. Garcia was also pronounced dead at the scene. The department did not indicate whether a firearm was recovered at the scene.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Central Homicide Unit assumed the investigation, which led them to believe that Garcia shot his mother, then himself.

No additional suspects were believed to be involved, and the motive of the shooting was unknown.

Anyone with additional information was encouraged to contact investigator Cook at 951-217-8847 or investigator Garcia-Flores at 951-210-1000.
