A 14-year-old Hemet boy who died in Perris from a gunshot wound on Sunday was identified today as William Long III, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s website.
Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call in the 1700 block of Glenview Drive at 12:07 a.m., according to sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Torrenti.
“When the officers arrived, they located a male juvenile, lying on the sidewalk, suffering from a gunshot wound,” Torrenti said.
Paramedics were called, but the boy was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:22 a.m., the coroner’s office said.
Deputies ask that anyone with information on the shooting to call the sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777 or the Perris Police Department at 951-210-1000.

Another senseless murder! I would like to ask Mom and Dad why was your son on the streets at 12am????
Because he had snuck out of the house. Don’t be so quick to judge the parents. They took extreme measures to protect this child and make sure that he was disciplined but he thought he knew better than them and this was the result. It was a sad end to a very sad life. Senseless doesn’t begin to describe it. But because of the circumstances and the fact that he was known by police, his murder will probably never be solved.
