Daniel Earl Dexter, 22, was shot and killed on June 1, 2022, at Alec Fergusson Park in Rialto. The shooting broke out around 12:58 PM after an argument between two groups of people playing basketball; Dexter was one of two people struck and was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where he was pronounced dead at 1:49 PM. The other victim remained in critical condition.

Nearly 100 first and second-grade students from Fitzgerald Elementary School were on a field trip at the park when the gunfire erupted. Teachers and campus security sheltered the students under tables and behind concealment, and none of the children or school staff were injured. The Rialto Unified School District said the violence was not tied to any of its schools.

The Rialto Police Department Homicide Unit is leading the investigation. Witnesses described one suspect as a Black male adult with a dark complexion; one person briefly detained at the scene was released and not considered a suspect. Police say at least one shooter remains at large and have asked anyone with information to contact them or submit an anonymous tip through WeTip.

Does anyone who was at Alec Fergusson Park that day or who knows more about the basketball groups have information to share?
