Two people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting at a Mead Valley home in the early-morning hours of Friday sheriff’s officials said.

Deputies received a report of the shooting about 12:15 a.m. in the 21600 block of Rider Street, according to a tweet from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department sent around 3 a.m.

Two people were found dead and two others were hospitalized. The conditions of the wounded weren’t known, investigators said in a written statement issued more than 12 hours after the crimes were reported.

No information about the victims was released, but the violence is not believed to be connected to any of the recent homicides in the Lake Elsinore or Perris areas, sheriff’s officials said.

Mead Valley is an unincorporated community that sits slightly northwest of Perris and slightly southeast of Woodcrest.

A stretch of Rider Street remained shut down late Friday morning as Riverside County sheriff’s personnel investigated the incident.

The rural street, consisting of mostly one-story homes on fenced-off dirt lots, was quiet. Neighbors stood in their front yards, looking down the blocked street.

Most said they hadn’t heard any noises or seen anything strange between the late evening and early morning.

“All I seen is that yesterday, around 7, there was an argument,” said 16-year-old Valentine Zermeno.

He said that a man he recognized as one of the people who lived in the home had been in a verbal altercation with another man.

“They were yelling and throwing their hands up and stuff,” Zermeno said.

Arthur Chavez, 68, of San Bernardino, said his sister-in-law and nephew lived in the home where the shooting happened. He said his nephew, whom he declined to identify, was hospitalized after his leg was shattered by a bullet.

Chavez, who stood on the street while deputies investigated, said sheriff’s officials didn’t tell him much about what happened.

“He didn’t get into detail,” Chavez said, describing his conversation with a deputy. “He just said there were two people killed, two people who were shot and wounded (and) in grave situation, but they wouldn’t give us the names of the other victims.”

Edgar Perez, 17, another neighbor, said people at the home could frequently be seen and heard fighting with one another.

“I’m not one who pries into other people’s private lives, even though he is my nephew,” Chavez said. “I’m just really surprised something like this happened.”

Chavez said his sister-in-law was also in the home when the shooting occurred.

“She was barricaded in her room when all this went down and it took a while before she came out because of what happened,” he said. “So she was in fear for her life.”
