Robert Chavez was 36 when he was killed in Perris, California, on August 14, 2022. The shooting happened shortly before 1 a.m. during a confrontation with two other men. Authorities say Jonathan Manriquez, 23, allegedly produced a handgun and fired multiple rounds; Chavez was killed instantly and the two other men suffered serious injuries but survived.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded and identified Manriquez as the primary suspect. He was taken into custody the next day at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where he had gone for treatment for undisclosed injuries. Manriquez was charged with murder, two counts of firearm assault, and additional allegations tied to use of a firearm and causing great bodily injury. Bail was set at $2 million.

Court records name the other two injured men only by initials, F.M. and S.C., who were reported to be recovering from their injuries. Did anyone in Perris that night see the confrontation or have information about how it began?
