The investigation into a homeless man’s death in Jurupa Valley remains under investigation hours after he was found beaten to death at an encampment on Thursday morning.
Deputies were dispatched to the 6300 block of Baldwin Avenue at around 6:30 a.m. after learning of an assault in the area, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
They arrived to find a man, still unidentified by officials, lying on the ground and suffering from severe injuries.
Paramedics that also rushed to the scene attempted life-saving measures but he was eventually pronounced dead at the scene, deputies said.
They haven’t yet been able to identify or locate a suspect, despite some information that witnesses were able to provide them.
“From what I hear he grabbed a hammer from someone’s camp, went up here, hit him in the head with it,” said Red TKTKTKTK.
So far, detectives have learned that the suspect is about 6-feet tall and has a thin build. He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie and dark-colored pants.
