A 20-year-old man accused of shooting multiple times at a man standing in a Coachella front yard pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two felony charges.
Ramiro Reyes of Coachella was charged with attempted murder and being in possession of a short-barreled shotgun. He pleaded not guilty to both Wednesday.
Sheriff’s deputies responded around 3:30 p.m. Friday to the 50-900 block of Chiapas Drive in Coachella to reports of the shooting, which targeted a man standing in his front yard, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The man was not injured.
Investigators identified Reyes as a suspect in the shooting and served a warrant at his home, where he was arrested without incident. According to the sheriff’s department, authorities searched his home and found a short-barreled, sawed-off shotgun.
He was booked into the John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio and was being held in lieu of $1 million.
Reyes is slated to appear at the Larson Justice Center in Indio on June 29 for a bail review hearing.
