Remains of Trevon Perry discovered in Riverside, investigation ongoing 

Trevon Perry, 27, disappeared in March.

–In a joint press conference, Friday afternoon at Paso Robles City Hall, Paso Robles Chief of Police Ty Lewis and San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow announced that the remains of Trevon Perry were recovered from a residence in Riverside, Calif. last week, on June 18. DNA evidence was used to identify Perry’s remains.

Chief Lewis said the investigation is complex and ongoing but an arrest is expected in the near future. The chief said the investigation extended throughout California and into Nevada. He credited the cooperation of several jurisdictions. The hard work of the Paso Robles Police Department, San Luis Obispo County District Attorney, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office, the Riverside Police Department, Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, and U.S. Department of Justice crime labs throughout California led to the discovery and recovery of Perry’s remains.
