Booked for murder means he is in jail on that allegation. It is not a conviction, and the sheriff has not described a motive or a complaint filed in court. Ripley is dead. The rest is still the investigation.

Daniel Grossman, 34, of Brea, was booked for murder after a man was shot early Saturday in Wildomar. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office identified the man who died as Shawn Ripley, 55, of Wildomar.

Deputies were called about 2 a.m. Saturday to the 21000 block of Pecan Street for an assault with a deadly weapon. They found Ripley with a gunshot wound and tried to keep him alive until paramedics arrived. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died.

Investigators served a search warrant Sunday at Grossman's home in Brea and arrested him there without incident. They served a second warrant in Fullerton and said they collected more evidence. The sheriff's office said the investigation is ongoing and released no motive.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
