Damon Capacchione, 38, was shot and killed on April 2, 2014, around 6:20 p.m. on Parma Drive in Desert Hot Springs. He was visiting a former girlfriend when an argument with others at the location escalated into a physical fight between Capacchione and 21-year-old Taireece Ross of Cathedral City. During the altercation Ross allegedly retrieved a firearm from a truck driven by 62-year-old William McCrumb and shot Capacchione. He was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center and died about 30 minutes later.

Witnesses at the scene identified Ross as the shooter and police recovered the firearm. Authorities say the suspects and victim knew each other and that the shooting was not random. Three people were arrested: Ross and McCrumb on murder charges and Tamara Lester, 39, on accessory charges; McCrumb also faced firearm-related counts. All three pleaded not guilty at arraignment. Capacchione’s brother said Damon had recently been released from Folsom State Prison and was trying to rebuild his life.
