A firearm believed to have been used in the shooting was also recovered at the scene, police confirmed.
Indio, CA — A 19-year-old man, identified as Gideon Gonzalez Jr. of Indio, has been formally charged with murder in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred over the weekend outside a Food 4 Less store.
Gonzalez is accused of fatally shooting 26-year-old Lorenzo Segoviano on the evening of Saturday, February 3, 2024.
In addition to the murder charge, Gonzalez faces two counts of assault with a firearm and two counts of child cruelty. He is scheduled to be arraigned on these charges later today at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.
According to a statement from the Indio Police Department, officers responded to reports of a shooting around 5:40 p.m. at 82124 Highway 111.
Upon arrival, they discovered Segoviano suffering from a gunshot wound.
Despite officers’ attempts to administer life-saving measures, Segoviano was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses reported that the suspect fled the scene, moving southeast through the shopping center. Officers were able to quickly locate and detain Gonzalez nearby.
A firearm believed to have been used in the shooting was also recovered at the scene, police confirmed.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident began inside the store as a verbal dispute, which escalated into a physical altercation once both parties exited the building.
During the confrontation, Gonzalez allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot Segoviano as the victim attempted to flee.
Gonzalez was arrested shortly after the shooting and booked into the Southwest Detention Center on $1 million bail the following morning, according to inmate records.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information about this case to contact the Indio Police Department at 760-391-4057.
OMAHA, Neb. — At approximately 5:00 p.m., officers with the Omaha Police Department (OPD) and personnel from the Omaha Fire Department (OFD) responded to reports of an active shooter and multiple victims at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Criss Library, located at 6401 University Drive.
The initial 911 call reported a mass casualty incident involving an active shooter with several individuals down inside the library.
In response, multiple law enforcement and emergency medical units were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers conducted a comprehensive search of the building and surrounding area.
No victims, evidence of gunfire, or active threat were located.
After clearing the scene, authorities determined that the report was false and appears to have been a swatting call — a deliberate act of making a false emergency report to prompt a large police response.
The Omaha Police Department has confirmed that there was no danger to the public or the university community at any time.
The incident remains under investigation to identify the source of the false report.
Swatting is a serious criminal offense, and those found responsible can face federal and state charges.
