Aranda Briones, 16, of Moreno Valley was last seen January 13, 2019, at Moreno Valley Community Park after visiting with friends and relatives. Owen Skyler Shover, a friend from Moreno Valley High School, was the last person reported to have seen her alive; he initially said he dropped her at the park and she was picked up by someone in a four-door sedan, but surveillance footage contradicted that account and investigators focused on him and his brother, Gary Anthony Shover.

Records show Briones and Owen Shover had both been expelled from school in fall 2017 after Briones told authorities Shover had a handgun, a disclosure that led to his relocation and, according to the investigation, left him resentful. Evidence seized from the brothers’ residence — including clothing and blankets — indicated Briones had been the victim of a homicide, though her body has not been recovered and is believed to have been hidden in the San Bernardino Mountains.

The brothers were arrested March 1, 2019. Owen Shover was charged with first-degree murder and a special-circumstance allegation of lying in wait; Gary Shover was initially charged as well. If anyone knew Aranda, her movements that day, or has information about locations in the San Bernardino Mountains, please come forward.
