Ronald Capotosto, 71, was fatally shot on August 10, 2016, near the intersection of Moraga Avenue and Linares Avenue just outside the Jurupa Hills Country Club in Jurupa Valley, Riverside County. The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. while Capotosto was returning home from buying pool supplies; he was struck after a gunman fired at an intended target and was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward.

Two days later the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department arrested Raymond Fajardo, described in reports as a documented gang member, during a vehicle check near the crime scene; officers found a high-capacity magazine in his possession. Investigators say the intended target survived with injuries and that Fajardo may not have acted alone. The motive remains unclear.

Capotosto was a U.S. Army veteran and active in the community through organizations including the National Association of Realtors and the Millennium Corvette Club; he was a member of Saint John’s Catholic Church and is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
