Adrian David Denava, 50, was found dead from at least one gunshot wound on February 10, 2021, on the 53000 block of Country Club Drive in Idyllwild, California. Riverside County deputies responded to a reported shooting and discovered the body at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified Denava’s son, Adrian Denava Jr., 24, as the primary suspect. He was arrested shortly after the incident near the crime scene and booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of murder. Authorities did not immediately release a motive or detailed circumstances that led to the shooting.

The victim had a criminal history: he was released from custody on January 5, 2021, after a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury and illegal marijuana sales, and in 1995 was convicted in Michigan for sexually abusive activity against his then 5-year-old daughter. The case attracted attention because of the familial relationship between victim and suspect.

Did anyone in the Idyllwild area have contact with the Denava family around February 2021 or have information about what happened that day?
