A wanted criminal shot and killed a bail bondsman who tried to apprehend him this week at a hotel in Moreno Valley, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies with the Moreno Valley sheriff’s substation were called at 7:13 p.m. Tuesday to the 24000 block of Sunnymead Boulevard after reports of a shooting. They found James Black, a bail bondsman who was tracking a wanted felon, with a gunshot wound. Officials are now searching for the gunman, whom they have identified as 41-year-old Chad James Green, and are asking anyone who comes in contact with him to call 911. A LinkedIn page for James Black shows that he was a former Marine who for the past five years served as director of a fugitive apprehension company called Black Umbrella Group.
