A 25-year-old man was arrested in connection with a gang-related shooting in Garden Grove in October that left one teenager dead and a second wounded, police said Wednesday.
Adrian Cruz De La Riva of Santa Ana was located Tuesday when a Garden Grove Police Department SWAT team served a search warrant, Lt. Bob Bogue said.
De La Riva was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Orange County Jail for murder, Bogue said.
No weapon was recovered.
Detectives served a search warrant at 7 a.m. Tuesday at an apartment in the 600 block of West Washington Ave. in Santa Ana, Bogue said.
Officers were called at 2:18 p.m. Oct. 2 to the 12600 block of Keel Street when gunshots rang out, wounding 16- and 17-year-old boys, according to Garden Grove police.
One victim was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was rushed to an area hospital for “emergency treatment,” Lt. Thomas DaRe said.
The surviving victim suffered a gunshot wound to an “upper extremity,” DaRe said.
