On October 21st at approximately 2:00 p.m., Arlington patrol officers were alerted by a man who had gone to check on a family friend living in the 300 block of Kingfisher Lane. Upon entering the home, the man discovered a body in the living room. Officers responding to the scene found Mr. Rivas with multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators determined that he had been deceased for several days.
