The detectives caught one of the suspects in the murder of a Garden Grove man who was overthrown when he tried to stop the display thieves who stole a box of masks at the South El Monte store of his brother, the authorities announced on Monday, April 21.
The 16 -year -old boy, who is the alleged driver, was arrested, suspected of murder outside his house on Friday, April 18, said Los Angeles County Sheriff. Michael Modica. He didn’t say where the teenager lives.
Investigators are still trying to identify other suspects that have been seen in the car during and after the crime. Initially, detectives thought there were three suspects in the car. Now they believe there were more.
The flight occurred on April 9 in Durfee Ave. Kourosh “Steve” Yaghoubi and his brother driven out the display thief in the parking lot.
They entered an altercation with the suspect and another suspect who came out of a car. The suspects entered the car, ran Yaghoubi, 63, then left.
Yaghoubi died in the parking lot.
The detectives found the blue sedan several hours later at the home of the registered owner, Modica said. It was unoccupied. The lieutenant refused to say which city or community the car was.
The owner of the car is linked to the 16-year-old suspect, he said.
Modica did not enter into the details on how they identified the teenager as the one who was driving the car. The teenager was taken to a minor establishment, he said.
