The Riverside community is grappling with shock and sorrow following a violent incident that claimed the life of Jullian Hughes and led to the arrest of John Larry Perryman in connection with the case. The tragedy unfolded on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, when authorities responded to reports of a stabbing that would leave a family mourning and a neighborhood searching for answers.
According to law enforcement, John Larry Perryman was arrested following the fatal stabbing of Jullian Hughes. Investigators worked swiftly to secure the scene, gather evidence, and piece together the events that led to the loss of life. While the legal process now moves forward, officials have emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
At the center of this tragedy is Jullian Hughes—a life taken far too soon. Beyond the circumstances of the crime, Jullian was a person with loved ones, aspirations, and a place in the community. Friends and family remember someone whose presence mattered, whose absence now leaves an unfillable void. The pain of losing Jullian in such a sudden and violent manner has sent waves of grief through those who knew and loved them, as well as through the broader Riverside community.
Incidents like this reverberate far beyond the immediate scene. They raise difficult questions about violence, conflict, and the ways communities can work together to prevent such losses in the future. Neighbors have expressed a mixture of sadness, disbelief, and concern, underscoring the need for compassion, vigilance, and support for those affected.
As the case proceeds through the justice system, many are calling for accountability while also seeking healing. Vigils, prayers, and messages of condolence have become expressions of solidarity—small but meaningful ways to honor Jullian Hughes’ memory and to stand with the family during an unimaginably painful time.
This moment serves as a solemn reminder of the fragility of life and the lasting impact of violence. While legal proceedings will determine responsibility, the human cost is already clear. Jullian Hughes will be remembered not for the tragedy that ended their life, but for the life itself—the relationships, the memories, and the love that remain. May their memory be honored with truth, justice, and a renewed commitment to peace within the community.
