Victorville man remembered as genuine, honest and funny after Wednesday murder
Victorville Daily Press
Janelle Ruby said her boyfriend, Chris Brim, was a “genuine, honest and funny” man who could make friends with anyone.
The couple had two young daughters, and Ruby said there were plans to get married and try for a son.
But earlier this week, Brim never made it home.
The 31-year-old was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon in front of the Green Tree Market on Hesperia Road in what Ruby said appeared to be a random act of violence.
Two suspects from Hesperia were arrested, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said: Antonio Mota, 21, the reported shooter; and Alicia Rivas, 22, the alleged accomplice.

For the past six years, the Victor Valley Adult Education Regional Consortium has helped hundreds of men and women complete high school, providing them with opportunities for postsecondary education, new careers and, for many, a sense of fulfillment in meeting a lifelong goal.
The Consortium was established in the spring of 2014, bringing together local school districts and Victor Valley College to develop a comprehensive plan that serves the academic needs of adults in the region.
The primary goal of the Consortium is to educate adults through the basic skills classes required for a high school diploma or high school equivalency.
