Riverside County man charged for his 70-year-old father's murder
A Riverside County man has been arrested and charged in connection with his father's murder over the weekend, according to authorities.
Deputies were called to a home in the 20000 block of Clark Street in an unincorporated part of Perris called Mead Valley at around 4:15 a.m. on Sunday, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.
Upon arrival, they found an unresponsive 70-year-old man. They attempted lifesaving measures, but he was ultimately declared dead at the scene.
The victim has been identified as Mead Valley resident Angel Gonzalez, deputies said.
"Based on the information provided, the Riverside Sheriff's Central Homicide Unit was requested and assumed the investigation," the release said.
Investigators identified the man's son, Juan Gonzalez, 47, as the suspect, according to the RSO's release. He was taken into custody and booked for murder.
On Wednesday, Dec. 3, Juan Gonzalez was charged with first-degree murder and three counts of robbery, according to the Riverside County District Attorney. He remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.
Exact details surrounding the robberies have not yet been provided by investigators, but prosecutors said that three men were allegedly robbed by Juan Gonzalez before he was arrested.
As the investigation continues, RSO deputies said that no further information will be released.
Anyone with further information was urged to contact investigators at (951) 955-2777.
