California Self-Defense: Man fatally shot in apparent case of self-defense in Moreno Valley :: 06/29/2020

In an apparent case of self-defense, a man was fatally shot during a family disturbance in Moreno Valley on Sunday morning, officials said.

Deputies arrived at 1:15 a.m. to a home in the 23700 block of Blackbird Circle to a report of a family altercation, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.

“An estranged family (member) arrived at the location and broke into the residence while threatening to cause harm to the occupants,” a sheriff’s statement said. “The occupants confronted the estranged family member who became hostile. During the altercation, a resident used a firearm against the assailant.”

Deputies found Cesar Acosta, 43, of Moreno Valley suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken by paramedics to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

“At this point, the shooting appears to have been done in self-defense,” the sheriff’s statement said.

The investigation was continuing and anyone with information about the incident was encouraged to contact Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777.
