Riverside County California Sheriff: 3 men were slain at Perris cemetery; possible cartel connection investigated

Chivis Martinez   Borderland Beat   TY GUS  Source



The three men found dead in a Perris cemetery Monday morning were killed near the grave of a man who was slain in Mexico, and investigators are trying to determine whether there is a connection, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference.

Detectives were looking into whether the location of the homicides was meant to send a message and whether a cartel or a gang was involved.

“Three people killed at the same time, that was a message for something, whether it was for someone else or whether it was to them, three people being killed in a cemetery is not the norm,” Bianco said.

Reports out of Mexico say the man was slain in December. A grave marker with that man’s name at Perris Valley Cemetery says he died in December. His gravesite was elaborately decorated Tuesday with a crucifix, hearts, flowers, balloons and solar lights. Bianco would not confirm whether the man named on the grave is the person killed in Mexico. Detectives from Riverside County have been in contact with Mexican authorities, the sheriff said.


The men’s bodies were all found in the grass at the cemetery at 915 N. Perris Blvd. Bianco declined to say how investigators believe the three were killed. The Riverside County Coroner’s Office identified them Tuesday as Perris residents Jaime Covarrubias Espindola, 50, Jose Maria Aguilar-Espejel, 38, and Rodrigo Aguilar-Espejel, 28. Their relationship with each other or the man killed in Mexico was unclear Tuesday.

While they were found Monday, it’s not clear when the men were killed.

Bianco said detectives were looking at security-camera footage from the cemetery as well as from cameras placed around the city to try and pinpoint how the men got to the cemetery.

The sheriff said among the leads that investigators were looking at was the positioning of the bodies near the grave.

While they have not yet officially determined a motive for the killings, Bianco agreed the men appear to have been victims of an execution or assassination.

The killings of the three men come after a pair of deadly incidents in Perris or nearby in just the past few days, and other violence earlier in the month. Bianco said the killings were not related and that he wanted to assure the public there was no threat to their safety.

“We do not have a serial killer on the loose,” he said.

A Perris man was found dead in Good Hope, just outside of Perris on Sunday afternoon when deputies responded to a shooting. Another victim survived that shooting. Renato Ivan Sanchez, 38, was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of shooting and killing a 25-year-old Perris man at Paragon Park in the city on Wednesday. Three men were wounded by gunfire in Perris near the 1500 block of Ashbury Way on Feb. 11. Earlier, a Temecula man was shot to death outside a Perris gas station on Feb. 2. Monday, two juveniles were injured in an assault in Perris.

Several Perris residents who said they were concerned about the violence attended the news conference. The Perris City Council has tentatively scheduled a special meeting about public safety for Feb. 27, said Mayor Michael Vargas, who also expressed confidence in the Sheriff’s Department. Council members might discuss paying for additional deputies under the city’s contract with Riverside County, Vargas said Tuesday.

  1. California, with its sanctuary state status, will be one of the first to be overwhelmed with Mexico style violence.

    1. Please don’t be ridiculous. I have live in California for a very long time and I know violence is not increasing. Your political view has no impact on reality.

    6. Oh yeah ? On February 19, 3 women got killed by a black man in Hemet. Was that because of a sanctuary city policy’s? Or that only apply to Latinos ? Or to illegal immigrants. I guess now we have to wait and see if an illegal immigrant is the one to blame.
      Maybe the black guy is an illegal immigrant from Africa.

    7. 4:56 Sanctuary Status state, does not protect habitual felony criminals. A criminal that kills someone that is from another country on US soil will serve time, just like everyone else.

    11. Mexico style violence ???? What are you trying to say?

      February 19, Hemet Ca 3 women were killed when the tried to collect rent money from a house. The murderers a black 19 yr old and his 20 something girlfriend. And that’s just the start. I can go on and on with murders on this side of the border not related to Latinos.

This is case is overrated fellas just cause the tomb belonged to a guy that happened to be from a State infested of cartels n drugs so are quickly assuming it's cartel related but nobody talking about the 3 girls that were killed last week in a house in Hemet can which is very close to Perris...

  6. One of the people killed here was an employee of Uver Hernandez the man whose grave their bodies were dumped on, & who was killed in Michoacan last year. Uver owned a restaurant in Perris. Unknown if the other 2 victims also worked there.

  7. Who said you couldn't get touched if you run to America. The guy who was killed in Michocan and this triple homicide are related 100%. I think all this comes from a lost load, stolen or debt owed. The guy who was killed in Michocan probably went over there to try and smooth things over but he found out there was nothing to negotiate. They tortured him and found out who else was involved and killed them all.

  9. Cartels have been in the US for decades now so stop that paranoia, this was an interesting case for where the bodies were found, many cases the victims get taken down to Mexico n killed there, in many cases cartel related hits are carried by gangs which have people thinking it's gang related

  10. José Luis Torres Garcia is the man responsible for the murder according to Sheriff’s department. He drives a dark blue 2001 GMC Yukon, with the California license plate 4PDH363. The police is looking for him. He has ties to Michoacán and San Jose Ca.

    1. How do drugs, guns and shipments of kilos get through the border? it takes 2 to tango. Corruption is on both sides of the border. This had nothing to do with you and it will probably never will. it just happened. If your not involved don’t be scared. Your being really dramatic. Don’t live in fear.

    2. They were killed in the cemetery maybe instead of saying stupid things about shutting the border. Go back to school and take a English class reading comprehension you need it because just in case you still do not get it. The people were alive they were executed in the cemetery.

  13. According to el Debate Uver Hernandez Castaneda the man on the grave was killed in Michoacán. Apparently by gun fire and maybe because someone decided to take away his vehicle. A Range Rover.
