Riverside police have arrested two more suspects in a homicide investigation that has engulfed the Mead Valley community. According to the Riverside Sheriff’s Office, Daniel Santos Ambriz, 31, and Samantha Insley, 21, both of Perris, were arrested in Lawton, Oklahoma, on charges of murder and aiding and abetting, respectively.
Ambriz was apprehended with the aid of the Lawton Police Department on an outstanding arrest warrant for murder. Insley is now being detained on a warrant for helping in the murder investigation. They are both being detained at the Comanche County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Riverside County, where they will face charges stemming from the deadly shooting on August 12.
The incident began when Perris Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to a reported car theft. When officers arrived at the site, they learned that a Hispanic guy had been fatally shot near the intersection of Cajalco Road and Haines Street. The man, subsequently identified as 29-year-old Jose Eduardo Del Real, underwent resuscitation attempts by bystanders but was pronounced dead by medical professionals.
In a continuing investigation into the crime, the Riverside Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit accused Juan Cristoval Ambriz, 26, who is presently in detention on other charges, with murder and other felonies. Investigators are still looking into the circumstances surrounding the occurrence. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office asks anybody with information to come forward and call Investigator Ortiz or Master Investigator Manjarrez.
