A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting another man in Santa Ana last week, authorities said.
Around 6:45 p.m. on June 3, 19-year-old Angel Junior Vuelvas was found lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds by officers responding to a report of a shooting in the 1100 block of South Poplar Street, the Santa Ana Police Department said.
Vuelvas, a Santa Ana resident, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The suspect, Gabriel Gutierrez, also of Santa Ana, fled before police arrived and was arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder, police said Tuesday.
A motive for the shooting was not released by authorities on Tuesday, though authorities previously said the shooting was possibly gang-related.
Police asked anyone with information on the shooting to call the Homicide Section Detectives at 714-245-8390 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
