Daniel Urenda, 23, a Latino man, suffered a gunshot wound to the head at 923 N. Lagoon Ave. in Wilmington and died at 9:10 a.m. Thursday, March 8.

Police learned of the killing the same afternoon when a woman walked into LAPD’s Harbor Division station and told them the killer was her son, Edward Scaroni, 22, a white man. She directed police to the address where the killing took place; detectives found victim Urenda inside. Police tracked down the suspect in his home near the intersection of East First Street and Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach and surrounded him. Scaroni barricaded himself for three hours inside, then surrendered. Police said he had a history of mental illness.
