Enrique Arrieta, a 51-year-old male, was found late morning on Sunday, September 21, 2025, lying on the ground at the intersection of Calle Limon and Genoa Street in Coachella after reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. Deputies arrived at 11:37 a.m. and discovered he had suffered a gunshot wound; despite life-saving efforts at the scene, he was pronounced dead there. He was identified by authorities as a Coachella resident.
Witnesses told local reporters the violence followed an altercation, a detail that cast the shooting as a sudden eruption on a quiet residential block rather than a random attack. No other injuries were reported, and the midday gunfire drew a swift perimeter as homicide investigators began canvassing for security footage and statements.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit assumed the investigation and publicly named Arrieta while asking for tips that could identify whoever pulled the trigger. As of the initial releases and subsequent local coverage, no arrests had been made and the suspect or suspects remained at large, with detectives pursuing leads and urging community cooperation.
Community pages dedicated to tracking gun violence recorded Arrieta’s death the same day, echoing the location and circumstances reported by law enforcement and the press. Those entries, along with aggregated reprints of regional reporting, reinforce the timeline: a late-morning shooting on September 21, a rapid response that could not save him, and an open case centered on a residential crossroads in Coachella.
