On Friday, July 22, 2022, about 11:07 AM, deputies from the Moreno Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to a report of a suspect claiming to have a gun and threatening to shoot someone at a business in the 15100 block of Perris Boulevard in Moreno Valley.
Once deputies arrived, the male suspect was located in the parking lot and claimed to have a gun. The suspect was uncooperative, refused orders, and during the confrontation, a deputy-involved shooting occurred.

The suspect was transported to a local hospital by ambulance, where he was pronounced deceased. The identity of the suspect will not be released, pending next of kin notification. No deputies were injured during this incident and there are no outstanding suspects.
The involved deputy will be placed on paid administrative leave according to Department policy and will not be named at this time.
