BLOOMINGTON – A man was shot dead at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Jurupa Street on Saturday just before midnight, according to sheriff’s officials. Deputies responded to a call of shots fired at 11:49 p.m. and found Rialto resident Joseph Anthony Rojas, 33, had been shot, according to spokeswoman Jodi Miller.
He was taken by ambulance to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where he died shortly after arrival half an hour later, Miller said.
