The Sun — Two men accused of shooting an off-duty California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officer pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony attempted murder in San Bernardino County Superior Court.
Christopher Marquez, 24, and Anthony Gomez Jr., 31, both of Riverside, sat before Judge Kenneth Barr in a video arraignment.
Clad in his green jumpsuit, Gomez - who is in protective custody - is charged with felony attempted murder and has 2 prior strikes.
Marquez, wearing an orange jumpsuit, was charged with attempted murder and personal use of a firearm.
Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said the records are unclear for the reason Gomez is in protective custody. Police say the men have ties to criminal street gangs.
The 52-year-old Chino prison corrections officer was in critical but stable condition Tuesday following a gunshot wound to the head.
When Colton police officers arrived at the Shell gas station in the 2700 block of Iowa Avenue shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday, they found the 26-year veteran correctional officer with a wound so serious that police didn't wait for paramedics.

Word to the wise, if you are traveling down to SoCal anytime soon, be extra vigilant regarding the criminal element. We are being advised that its hot, especially in the Riverside and S.B County area. Thanks to AB 109 , its becoming guard time 24/7, and not just the 8 and to the gate.
Gomez was not the triggerman... Marquez is... Hes the one that needs to man up to the charges... Gomez had no control over Marquez's retarted ass... That SOB got Gomez charged with him....F Marquez... Free Gomez....
Death to both of these turds, Gomez is p.c because he is a rat. Hope his gang gets to him soon enough to save us tax paying citizens some money.
You must be high posting at 420... Your a coward with big talk... You wouldnt last five min even in pc...
Hang em both.
I remember both of these SUR assholes and neither one of them deserves to see the streets again. Gomez has been a rat for a very long time. That's how he beat a gun charge a few years back. Now he's turned states evidence against Marquez.
