Nearly 7 years after 31-year-old Anna Meza was murdered in her San Jacinto home, Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested the man they allege killed her.
Daniel Acevedo, a 27-year-old resident of San Jacinto, was arrested Friday, April 12, following a lengthy investigation by the Central Homicide Unit, Riverside County Sheriff Deputy Jesse Martinez said in a news release.
The deadly shooting was reported to police Nov. 12, 2017, at about 3 p.m. in the 100 block of North Dillon Avenue, Martinez said.
Upon their arrival at the scene, deputies found Meza lying on the street. An ambulance was called to the scene and the team attempted life saving measures, but the Meza had succumbed to her injuries.
“Members of the Major Crimes Unit conducted a traffic stop in San Jacinto and took Acevedo into custody without incident,” Martinez said.
The Riverside County District Attorney reviewed the case and filed murder charges against Acevedo Monday, April 15.
While deputies have arrested the main suspect in the case, Martinez said the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the shooting should contact Investigator Robertson or Investigator Adams with the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955–2777.
