A 34-year-old Brea man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a shooting in Wildomar left a 55-year-old resident dead, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the 21000 block of Pecan Street at about 2:04 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, regarding an assault with a deadly weapon, the Sheriff’s Office said.
They found a man with what appeared to be a gunshot wound and provided lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived. The victim was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit assumed the investigation and identified the victim as Shawn Ripley, 55, of Wildomar. Investigators identified Daniel Grossman, 34, of Brea, as the suspect.
On Sunday, Nov. 8, investigators served a search warrant at Grossman’s residence in Brea, where he was taken into custody without incident. Investigators also served a search warrant in Fullerton and collected additional evidence.
Grossman was booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center on suspicion of murder.
