On August 28, 2024, at about 10:34 p.m., deputies responded to reports of gunfire in the 84900 block of Calle Rojo in Coachella and found 18-year-old Isaak Uel Kyd Gonzalez, also reported as Isaac Gonzalez, lying in the roadway with gunshot wounds. Medical responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit opened an investigation and identified three Coachella residents connected to the incident: 18-year-old Fabian Diaz, a 17-year-old male, and a 16-year-old male.

Memorial services for Gonzalez were held September 19 and 20, 2024, at Casillas Funeral Home in Coachella. On October 25, 2024, authorities arrested Diaz and the 17-year-old on suspicion of murder, robbery, and conspiracy; Diaz was booked into John Benoit Detention Center and the 17-year-old into juvenile hall. The 16-year-old was later apprehended in Ontario and also booked into juvenile hall on the same charges. The Sheriff’s Department has not released further details about the shooting or a motive as the investigation continues.
