Investigators Tuesday asked for the public’s assistance in identifying possible suspects or providing any other clues that might solve the murder of a 47-year-old Corona man.
Carlos Villa was fatally shot just before 1 a.m. on May 19 outside a home in the 3000 block of Grant Street, near Indiana Avenue, in Home Gardens, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
Central Homicide Unit detectives have been unable to develop firm leads as to who might have killed Villa.
Sheriff’s officials said that patrol deputies were sent to the location to investigate reports of a man down and discovered the victim unconscious and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
A possible motive has not been identified, and detectives haven’t been able to gather sufficient evidence to justify search warrants at properties in the neighborhood, or anywhere else.
Anyone with information relevant to the investigation was asked to contact the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-9186.
