Daniel Jacob Dean, 27, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 1, 2017, in the parking lot of a Chase Bank on Magnolia Avenue in Riverside. At about 4:28 a.m. dispatchers received reports of a shooting; officers and paramedics found a gray sedan backed against a tree with the engine running and Dean inside with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. The Riverside Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Riverside Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Unit led the investigation. Detectives, with help from the California Department of Justice Special Operations Unit, identified 20-year-old Erian Jacob Brown of Yucaipa as the primary suspect. Brown was arrested in North Las Vegas by an FBI Fugitive Task Force, extradited to California and booked into the Riverside County Jail on charges of murder and attempted carjacking; he was being held without bail as the investigation continued. Dean was newly engaged and left behind a two-year-old daughter.

Does anyone have information about Dean’s movements that night or witnessed activity in the Chase Bank parking lot around 4:30 a.m.?
