The murder suspect responsible for shooting two men in Woodbine Park resulting in one death, and leaving another critically wounded from a gunshot to the head nearby was arrested this morning in Hawthorne. All night an LAPD alert went out with the vehicle and registered owner information for officers to be on the look out. Undercover units staged at the registered owners residence and took him in to custody this morning. The shooting was gang related, 
with internal gang ties. The murder victim, 27 years old Justin Aguilar died at the scene witnesses and surveillance video identified the suspects car. One of the suspects described by witnesses at the scene was a black male in a blue plaid shirt. He was reported as fleeing from the scene on foot and was the victim of a gunshot wound to the head after Justin Aguilar was killed. It is believed he and the shooter are part of the same gang.

Two Burglaries on 3300 block of Kelton 04/10/15

TYPE: Two Home Burglaries
WHERE: 3300 block of Kelton
WHEN: Friday, April 10th 4:45pm
SUSPECTS: African American Male, black shirt and black pants and African American Female wearing pink top, black pants and sunglasses.
CHARACTERISTICS: On 3300 block of Kelton there may have been three people. One driver with perhaps a police scanner in a beige Chrysler, one (female) on foot outside on sidewalk wearing pink, and one who breaks in (male). They broke into one residence and ransacked it, and then went next door to another residence and broke in through the kitchen window. He opened some alarmed doors which sent the owner a text message of a break in and then he watched live on my camera. 

The break in happened approximately 4:43 (called police at around 4:45) and the thieves were out on the Kelton by 4:50 in broad daylight. A woman was outside the gate trying to pull it open and the guy was inside the gate trying to pull it open as well. They couldn't so he handed over some stolen items to the woman who then went into the passenger side and he climbed over the fence and perhaps threw the heavier item into the car (backseat?)  She was wearing bright pink. He was in all black (see photo).
