Angelo Leivas, 19, male, was found in the early morning darkness of Friday, August 15, 2025, suffering from gunshot wounds along the 13000 block of Day Street in Moreno Valley. Deputies arrived after a 4 a.m. hour call and rushed Angelo Leivas to a local hospital, where the 19-year-old later died. Homicide investigators identified him that day as a resident of Banning, and opened a case that would pivot on a fleeing vehicle and a suspect they believed was behind the wheel.
Detectives quickly circulated the description of a car seen leaving the scene. Roughly an hour later, authorities located the vehicle in Moreno Valley, sharpening the outline of what had happened on Day Street. By that afternoon, investigators said their work had led them to the driver as the shooter—a 19-year-old from Banning—and the investigation moved from a frantic search toward a focused arrest.
The suspect was identified as Jacob Nulen Necochea, 19, also of Banning. According to the sheriff's office, Necochea was arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on suspicion of murder. Officials stated that evidence indicated the driver was the suspect responsible for killing Angelo Leivas, 19, male, and that the case remained an active homicide investigation.
In the days that followed, local outlets reported that prosecutors filed murder and related charges, cementing the case against the teenager accused of gunning down Angelo Leivas, 19, male, after what authorities described as a dispute. Court proceedings were pending as of the most recent reports, and investigators did not announce any additional suspects.
