Accident – Death – Obituary News :
On this day one year ago (July 1, 2023), a tragic incident unfolded in Banning, as a 15-year-old girl lost her life to fentanyl poisoning. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has announced the arrest of a Banning man in connection with the murder.
Authorities were alerted to the situation on January 14, when deputies were called to the 12400 block of Dailey Road to investigate the disappearance of a juvenile. Tragically, they discovered the lifeless body of 15-year-old Faith Alaniz in the back seat of a vehicle. The Riverside County coroner’s office later confirmed that Alaniz’s cause of death was fentanyl poisoning.
Extended Investigation Leads to Arrest
Following the discovery of Alaniz’s body, the Sheriff’s Office of Overdose Death Investigations and the Narcotics Unit took over the case. Months of thorough investigation led authorities to identify the suspect as 51-year-old Banning resident, James Dailey.
A Ramey warrant for murder was issued for Dailey, and on June 4, Banning Police Department officers apprehended him without incident. Dailey was subsequently booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility on suspicion of murder, and he remains in custody without bail.
Legal Proceedings and Charges
On June 22, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office formally charged Dailey with murder and felony child endangerment. An enhancement was included in the charges, alleging that Dailey caused the death of a juvenile. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 7.
The investigation into this tragic incident is still ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward. Those with relevant details are encouraged to contact investigator Hollingsworth at 951-955-1700.
