Teen wanted in Riverside County man's homicide
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. - A 17-year-old boy is wanted in connection with the homicide of a man found dead outside a Norco home Saturday.
It happened just after 7 p.m. at a home in the 300 block of Sixth Street, according to the Riverside County Sheriff.
Officers responding to a call reporting an assault at the home found the victim, later identified as 40-year-old Gabriel Diaz of Norco, at the side of the home. Officials said he suffered "traumatic injuries" and was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to authorities, Diaz was killed at his home. It's unclear if Diaz and Valdez knew each other; the motive remains under investigation.
The suspect has since been identified as 17-year-old Jaziel Valdez of Norco. Authorities said Valdez also goes by the name Ivan Camacho. He and the victim used to work together, according to officials.
Valdez allegedly stole a gray Chevy Silverado truck with California license plate 6E80094 from Diaz's home after the homicide, the sheriff's department said.
If you see Valdez or the suspect vehicle, call 911.
