Homicide Update – Suspect Arrest 

November 8, 2025 – Riverside County Sheriff's Office officials report that on April 3, 2024, at 9:07 a.m., deputies from the Perris Sheriff’s Station responded to the 32000 block of Falcon View Lane in Homeland, regarding a report of a male suffering from gunshot wounds. Deputies arrived and located Christopher Yeamons, a 33-year-old resident of Homeland, with apparent gunshot injuries. Paramedics were requested, and Yeamons was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

Investigators from the Perris Sheriff’s Station responded and began the investigation to identify the suspect. Over the following weeks, Yeamons’ medical condition deteriorated, and on April 25, 2024, he was pronounced deceased. Due to his death, investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit assumed the investigation.

During the course of the investigation, Carlos Gonzalez, a 48-year-old resident of Homeland, was identified as a person of interest. Despite extensive searches, investigators were initially unable to locate him.

On November 5, 2025, Gonzalez was located and arrested in Homeland on an outstanding felony warrant, unrelated to this incident, and was booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center. On November 7, 2025, Gonzalez was arrested for the murder of Yeamons and his booking charges were updated to include a charge of murder. Gonzalez is believed to be the sole suspect in this case. This investigation remains ongoing, and no additional details are available at this time.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Central Homicide Unit Investigators Anderson or Castaneda at (951) 955-2777.
