On the afternoon of December 26, 2022, 34-year-old Dorian Herrod of Perris Valley, California, was shot once during an encounter at a home in the 500 block of Haystack Loop, near Jack Rabbit Court. Deputies and paramedics arrived within minutes after witnesses called 911; Herrod was taken to a regional trauma center and died a short time later.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department says the shooting followed an unspecified confrontation between Herrod and a 35-year-old woman, Kayla Sherea Foster. Foster was arrested the same night without incident and booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of murder; bail was set at $1 million. Authorities did not disclose a motive or the nature of their relationship.

The Riverside County District Attorney later charged Foster with murder and alleged firearm and great-bodily-injury enhancements. At arraignment on January 12, 2023, Foster pleaded not guilty and remained in custody on $1 million bail as the case proceeded through the courts.

Did anyone in Perris or Menifee see or hear anything that afternoon that could help explain what happened?
