A man fatally shot on the east end of Temecula was identified Monday as a 39-year-old resident of the city.
Aaron Bowers was killed Saturday morning at a residence in the 32900 block of Josheroo Court, just south of Highway 79, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
The alleged assailant, 22-year-old Micah Chazz Harris of Temecula, was booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of murder immediately after the alleged attack.
Harris is being held in lieu of $1 million bail. His case was under review Monday by the District Attorney’s Office.
According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jarred Bishop, patrol deputies were called to the Josheroo Court house by the suspect shortly before 5 a.m. Saturday.
“(Harris) advised that he had just shot another adult male inside the residence,” Bishop said. “Deputies arrived on scene and detained Harris. Several other additional individuals were located at the residence. Deputies checked the interior and located (the victim).”
The other parties in the home were questioned but not arrested.
The circumstances behind the alleged attack were not disclosed, including a possible motive.
Background information on the suspect was unavailable.
