On June 2, 2021, 24-year-old Riverside resident Sidney Thompson was found dead inside a parked car in the 6100 block of Quail Valley Court, a commercial area near Box Springs Mountain. Firefighters pronounced Thompson dead at the scene around 6:20 a.m., and investigators determined he had been shot, treating the death as a homicide.

Detectives quickly developed a suspect identified as 54-year-old Moreno Valley resident David Gurley, who worked near where Thompson was found and had reportedly been involved in recent arguments with Thompson. Gurley was arrested on June 18, 2021, and charged with murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and a probation violation. Authorities asked the public for any additional information to help the investigation.

What information might still help clarify the motive or the events that led to Sidney Thompson’s death?
