4 Teen-Agers Arrested in Sun Valley Killing
Four gang members have been arrested in a drive-by shooting that left a 17-year-old Sun Valley teen-ager dead, Los Angeles police said Wednesday.
The suspects--ages 14, 15, 16 and 17--were being held on suspicion of killing Sergio Arevallo, who was gunned down at 9 p.m. Monday while walking along Vineland Avenue near Saticoy Street, police said.
Detective Mike Coffey said that the four suspects, who are from the North Hollywood and Burbank areas, are members of one gang and that Arevallo belonged to a rival gang.
The 16- and 17-year-old suspects were arrested Tuesday afternoon in a stolen car believed to have been used in the shooting. On Wednesday, the 15-year-old was arrested at his North Hollywood home and the 14-year-old was arrested at school in Burbank.
