Residents south of 68th Street on Tributary Way, Confluence Dr. and Weir Way in the Jurupa Valley, are being asked by officers to shelter in place or evacuate until the suspect has been found.
Riverside Sheriffs are in search of a man, described as possibly Hispanic, who was reported to have shot at a deputy who attempted a traffic stop with the driver of a black Honda.Â
The deputy attempted to pull the car over at Limonite and the driver fled. As the vehicle came into access east of the 15 freeway, the suspect was reported to have shot at the deputy. According to the deputy who was fired upon, he didn’t return fire and he was not hurt.
Officers have located a black Honda in the Santa Ana Riverbed that they believe the suspect was driving and officers have called in canines for a sweep, drones, armor, CalFire and backup.Â
The suspect is likely in heavy brush in the riverbed, making it dangerous for the deputies.
This is a breaking story and will be updated as information is available.
