Riverside police said Saturday they arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a man a day earlier.
The victim, identified as 28-year-old Anthony Daniel Hayward of Riverside, was found by officers at 12:40 a.m. Friday in a parking lot in the 11100 block of Pierce Street, according to the Riverside Police Department.
An argument between the victim and the gunman preceded the shooting, though the nature of the argument was unclear, police said.
Hayward was shot multiple times, including in the head, police said. He died at a hospital.
The site of Friday’s shooting was on the same block as a triple-shooting that occurred about 2:15 a.m. Wednesday in a building at Pierce Street and Rose Avenue, which left two men dead and another injured.
Alexis Lua, 26, of Chino was pronounced dead at the scene while Fred Beltran, 35, of San Pedro died at Riverside Community Hospital, according to the Riverside County coroner’s office.
It was unclear if the two shootings were connected.
Police did not release the name of the suspect arrested Saturday.
