Shortly after 2:00 a.m. on September 3, 2023, deputies in Moreno Valley responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon in the 21800 block of Dracaea Avenue. Officers found two men lying in the street with gunshot wounds: Bryan Garcia, 21, and Ruben Perez, 22. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

A third man arrived at a local hospital with gunshot injuries believed to be from the same incident; authorities said he was in stable condition and expected to survive. No arrests or suspect information have been released, and the Central Homicide Unit is asking anyone with information to contact Investigator Ramirez at 951-955-2777.

Bryan Garcia’s obituary records his death on September 3, 2023, and invites family and friends to share condolences and memories. Does anyone have information about that early-morning shooting or knew the victims?
