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.

An investigation was underway Wednesday into the shooting death of a 29-year-old man in Mead Valley.

Jose Eduardo Del Real of Perris was gunned down shortly after 8 a.m. Monday near the intersection of Cajalco Road and Haines Street, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Sgt. Rafael Victorio said patrol deputies were called to the location to investigate reports of a wounded man and found good Samaritans performing CPR on Del Real.

Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, Victorio said.

He said further investigation revealed that Del Real “was related to a call for service” involving a car theft minutes earlier in the 19000 block of Summerwind Trail, near Dawes Street, just under a mile from where he was found shot.

The sergeant did not specify whether Del Real was a possible suspect or victim in the theft.

“No arrests have been made at this time,” Victorio said.

The investigation was ongoing Wednesday. Anyone with information about the case was asked to contact detectives at 760-578-2091, or 760-393-3530.
