CBS News Los Angeles

One person was arrested in connection with a deadly shooting in Temecula early Saturday morning. 

Deputies were dispatched to a home in the 32900 block of Josheroo Court at around 5 a.m. after receiving a call of an assault with a deadly weapon in the area, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. 

"When deputies arrived, they located the suspect and the deceased victim inside the residence," a statement from RSO said. 

They say that the man who called 911, identified as 22-year-old Temecula resident Micah Harris, was the same person that opened fire on the victim, deputies said. He was arrested without further incident.

On Monday, deputies identified the victim as Aaron Bowers, 39, also of Temecula.

Harris was booked on suspicion of murder at the Cois Byrd Detention Center where he's being held in lieu of $1 million bail, department officials said.

Deputies say that despite the fact there were several other people inside the home at the time of the incident, Harris was identified as the lone suspect by homicide investigators. 

There was no information provided on a motive that led to the shooting. 

Central Homicide Unit investigators assumed the investigation, which remains ongoing. Anyone who has further information is urged to contact detectives at (951) 955-2777.
