The Riverside County Coroner's Office has released the identity of the man killed in an officer-involved shooting last week on Interstate 10 in Palm Springs.

On Tuesday, October 5th, 2021, San Jacinto deputies responded to the 800 block of Main Street, in the city of San Jacinto, regarding a shooting. When deputies arrived in the area, a victim with non-life-threatening wounds was located in the area of 7th Street and San Jacinto Avenue. Cal-Fire paramedics were summoned to the location and transported him to a local hospital. At the original scene, deputies located several bullet casings and damage to a vehicle.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says he will not enforce any type of COVID-19 vaccination mandate on employees of the sheriff's department.

Excessive speed has been cited as a possible contributing factor after a San Jacinto resident in a Corvette lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a power pole in Hemet late Sunday evening, Aug. 18. The deadly, solo-vehicle accident happened on Mountain Ave., west of Soboba St.
