Neighborhood Evacuated In Coachella Amid Possible Hostage Standoff

Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies are on the scene of a standoff involving a possible hostage in Coachella, according to spokeswoman Herlinda Valenzuela.

Deputies received the call shortly after 10am, today, that a person may be held against their will along Sundown Lane in Coachella.

KESQ crews on the scene confirm the deputies are gathered near a home, which has prompted them to shut down a nearby cross street, Suncrest Road, and evacuate nearby homes.

Little more is known about the circumstances of the activity. KESQ’s crew will continue to cover the situation, and we will bring you more as we get it.
