WEST HOLLYWOOD—On January 27, deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, West Hollywood Station were on patrol in the 1000 block of Sierra Bonita Avenue, when officers discovered two male suspects in the middle of what appeared to be a drug transaction.

Arresting officers who ran a records check on the suspects discovered that one of the men had a homicide warrant for his arrest issued by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (SBSD).

LASD West Hollywood reported that on January 10, SBSD officers responded to a call of an assault at a local business in Fontana. The suspect reportedly attacked a 79-year-old man with a baseball bat, knocking the victim unconscious. The victim was transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. This was an unprovoked attack.

The suspect arrested by WEHO officers was wanted for murder.

In an X social media post, dated January 29, LASD West Hollywood commended the officers for a job well done.

“This arrest highlights an outstanding job done by West Hollywood Station deputies in proactively policing our community. We hope that our deputies’ quick actions and investigative skills aid the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department with their investigation.”

The name of the suspect, citizenship, and criminal history have not been disclosed to the public.
