Don Grigsby, a 60-year-old resident of Victorville, California, tragically lost his life on January 30, 2018, during a violent home invasion. The incident occurred late at night when an armed intruder entered the home on Forrest Avenue, near the Del Rey Drive intersection. Without demanding anything, the intruder opened fire on the occupants, hitting both Don Grigsby and his roommate, Gregory Wilburn.
Grigsby was rushed to Victor Valley Global Medical Center but succumbed to his injuries shortly before midnight. Wilburn, who was also shot, survived the attack and was hospitalized.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, as investigators have not found any evidence suggesting that the incident was a robbery. No items appeared to have been taken from the home, and the authorities are still trying to determine why the intruder targeted Grigsby and Wilburn. Grigsby's fiancée, Arlene Rivera, who discovered him lying motionless on the floor, described him as a kind and generous person who had been battling cancer. The couple had recently moved into the home and were planning to get married in two weeks.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the case, and the gunman remains at large. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office has urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward. The lack of a clear motive and the absence of a suspect have left the community and Grigsby's loved ones searching for answers and justice. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to seek leads that could help solve this tragic case.
