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.

Investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit arrested 51-year-old Anthony Miera for suspicion of murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old Raymond Cardenas on June 18, 2006, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Jarred Bishop.

Cardenas was found inside a home in the 1000 block of Citrus Street and pronounced dead at the scene, Bishop said.

“Although Miera was identified as a suspect, there was insufficient evidence to charge him during the initial investigation, and the case went cold,” Bishop said.

The sheriff’s Cold Case Unit reopened the case in August, he said. “After conducting additional investigation, the Cold Case Unit developed sufficient evidence to charge Miera.”

Miera was arrested without incident in Spring Valley Friday and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, Bishop said.

The investigation is ongoing, he said. Anyone with information helpful to investigators was asked to call Lead Investigator Dan Brown of the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777.
