At that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred. Authorities have not disclosed how many times the suspect was shot. Riverside County Fire Department paramedics arrived and attempted life-saving measures, but the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not been released. The officers involved have not been named, and the motive behind the suspect’s actions remains unclear.The Riverside County Force Investigations Detail, consisting of sheriff’s detectives and prosecutors, is conducting an independent review to determine whether the use of force was justified.
