The shooting was first reported in the 2300 block of Valley Pike around 2:20 a.m. The gunfire later prompted a standoff with people inside a house refusing to come out.

“I just got woke up by someone beating on my door,” a 911 caller said. “He’s screaming he’s been shot.”

That same caller said the victim ran down the street to his neighbor’s house too and then ended up lying in the middle of Valley Pike.

“He’s at my next-door neighbor’s house beating on the doors and windows screaming and yelling,” the caller said. “He’s lucky I didn’t shoot him for beating on my door in the middle of the night.”

Dispatch records showed officers found the victim with a gunshot wound to the chest.

SWAT units were called to the scene and surrounded the house for hours. Around 6:30 a.m. three people surrendered and were taken into police custody, according to a Riverside police spokesperson on the scene.

Jail records identified the three people arrested as Jennifer Le, Jeremy L. Miller and Susan Seyersdahl. All three are being held on outstanding warrants for probation violations for previous cases, online records show.

Police have not said whether any of the three people arrested are believed to be responsible for the shooting.

Police have responded to the house on Valley Pike 14 times over the last six months, according to dispatch records obtained by News Center 7 in a public records request. Most of the calls to the house involve noise complaints, either involving loud music or loud cars but police have also responded on reports of fights at the house.

News Center 7 is working to learn more information on the person who was shot and what their condition is.
