Teen Accused Of Firing Shots After High School Football Game

NORCO, CA — A Jurupa Valley teen arrested this week is accused of firing a gun several times during an argument following a high school football game in Norco last Friday, according to authorities.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office said deputies arrived on the 1800 block of Hamner Avenue a few minutes before 10 p.m. to investigate reports of gunshots in the area. Deputies soon learned more than 200 people were gathered in the area after the football game ended.

At some point, investigators said two groups got into an altercation and a male suspect fired multiple shots. No injuries were reported, and the suspect ran from the area before law enforcement arrived.

Detectives with the Jurupa Valley Sheriff's Station took over the case and quickly identified a 17-year-old boy as the alleged culprit. The sheriff's office said search warrants were served, but the suspect remained at large until he arrived at the station and surrendered to authorities on Wednesday.

He was booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of multiple counts of attempted murder. Detectives said more victims could be involved in the case and asked anyone with further information to contact investigators at 951-955-2600.
