Rayvon Tarpley, 25, of Pomona, California, died after being shot in Adelanto on September 22, 2015. Deputies responded to reports of shots fired in the 15000 block of New Hampshire Street just before 4:30 p.m.; Tarpley was found with a gunshot wound and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6 p.m.

Investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Specialized Investigations Division, Homicide Detail, handled the case. Early in the probe officials said the shooting may have been accidental and that there were no immediate suspects or arrests. Authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

The circumstances of the discharge that killed Tarpley remain the central unanswered question in the case. If anyone has information about what happened on New Hampshire Street that afternoon, please share it with investigators.
