Desert Hot Springs attempted murder suspect arrested
A man who allegedly shot and seriously wounded another man in Desert Hot Springs was in custody today on suspicion of attempted murder.
Carlos Anthony Beltran, 37, is accused in the May 16 shooting of a man in the 66100 block of Second Street. Desert Hot Springs police found the victim “suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound,” at the fire station on Pierson Boulevard and took him to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs for treatment.
Police have not disclosed what led them to identify Beltran, who was arrested Wednesday, as a suspect, nor have they described his relationship to the victim.
He was taken into custody near the intersection of 12th Street and Palm Drive in Desert Hot Springs, according to county jail records, and was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
Beltran’s arrest was the result of a collaboration between the Desert Hot Springs Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Fugitive Warrant Enforcement Team, according to police.
