Police investigate La Quinta Cove death, neighbors speak out

Authorities are investigating a confrontation that left one man dead on the 52700 block of Avenida Navarro Sunday morning. Neighbors said it was a fight between a 20-year-old man and his 47-year-old stepfather.

Officers said the 47-year-old man was inside the home and wasn’t responsive.

The coroner’s office identified him as Byron Crews.

“It’s kind of weird, that house has had a bunch of problems before,” said one neighbor.

The victim and the 20-year-old man were both transported to a local hospital where Crews died. The younger man was treated and released from the hospital.

Family members we met at the home told us they’re mourning their loss and they want answers. Investigators from the La Quinta Police Department and the Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit responded to the location and assumed the investigation.

There was no word on any arrests and authorities haven’t released the stepson’s name at this time. The investigation continues.
