Moreno Valley security guard found shot to death


MORENO VALLEY - A security guard hired to watch for taggers and vandals was found shot to death today at an elementary school.

A custodian discovered the body of the 25-year-old guard at about 6:16 a.m. at Box Hills Elementary School, ABC7 reported.

Riverside County Fire Department paramedics were sent to the school at 11900 Athens Drive in Moreno Valley, said Cheri Patterson, with the fire department. The victim's identity was not released.

The Moreno Valley School District hired a security firm to patrol the school following several incidents involving vandals and taggers, ABC7 said.

KCAL 9 reported that the victim worked a "long shift" from 3 p.m. Sunday until 6 a.m. today

The victim was found near his vehicle, Sheriff's Sgt. Earl Quinata told KCAL.

The victim's brother, Atatt Paschal, told ABC7 the victim was shot once, but he did not have further details. The victim was reportedly not armed.

The school was closed for the summer.
