The victim, a contractor with the American Forces Network, died after the crash near March Air Reserve Base about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
Deputies were initially dispatched to investigate a reported assault with a deadly weapon. The crash involved an SUV and a sedan and occurred outside the base.
Both drivers were taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“It was later determined that the subject had injuries consistent with a gunshot wound,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said. “The Moreno Valley Investigation Bureau assumed the investigation. No further details are available as the investigation remains ongoing.”
