Moreno Valley shooting leaves man dead; Woman arrested TREVOR MONTGOMERY | CONTRIBUTED

A

uthorities say a woman was arrested after a shooting in Moreno Valley left a man dead early Monday morning, March 9. The fatal shooting happened at a private residence on the 25800 block of Calle Agua, southeast of Iris Ave. and Kitching St.

The deadly shooting was the first of two homicides in southwest Riverside County yesterday involving women who were arrested for murder. The other deadly incident, which happened in the unincorporated community of Anza, left one woman dead and another woman seriously injured. Deputies were dispatched to the home around 1 a.m., after receiv-

ing reports of a shooting, Riverside Sheriff ’s Sgt. Richard Carroll has since reported. Deputies arrived at the home within minutes and found an unconscious man suffering from a gunshot wound, according to Espinoza. The victim, whose name has not yet been released pending further investigation and notification of

the man’s family, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Based on the circumstances, investigators from the Moreno Valley Station and Sheriff ’s Central Homicide Unit responded to the home and assumed the investigation. During their subsequent investigation, authorities determined the victim was fatally shot by 39-year-

old, Rashema Noel Hardgrove of Moreno Valley, according to Espinoza; who did not specify how the alleged suspect and victim knew each other, if there was any known motive, or what may have led to the deadly shooting. Based on their investigation, authorities arrested Hardgrove at

he Soboba Band of LuiseĂąo Indians worked for decades to open a bigger and better casino and in February of 2019, it became a reality. Not only did the Tribe give the new and improved casino a better location and look but adding a hotel and restaurants made it a desirable destination for guests to eat, play and stay. The adjacent Soboba Springs Golf Course adds to the experience. As the new facility marks its first anniversary, much of its success has been attributed to a loyal customer base and employees who are happy to get to know them. Soboba Casino’s Assistant General Manager Jason Cozart said he enjoys seeing employees interact with guests on a personal level. Many of the employees throughout the resort worked at the previous casino and were excited to continue in the hospitality field where they began their careers many years ago. Todd Harrington is a Table Games Floor Supervisor and has been with Soboba Casino for more than 18 years, formerly as a dealer. “Everyone has come together as a team in all departments,â€? he said. “We all realize teamwork is going to make the Soboba Casino Resort not only more successful but also a great place to work.â€? He said upcoming changes are discussed often in the table games department from policy and procedure changes to updates. “We also get information on new games that will be introduced in the near future that will set us apart from other casinos in the area,â€? Harrington said. “The best parts of my

Collazo has been working at Soboba Casino for almost two years and said he also
