Suspect in Murder, Rape Knew Victims
The man suspected of invading a home and raping two women and a 14-year-old girl, then shooting all three execution-style, killing one, is the grandson of one of the victims’ neighbors, police said Friday.
J.C. Metoyer, 19, was identified as the suspect in the attacks early Saturday on the women and girl inside their Inglewood home, Officer Gary Luckett said.
Metoyer has a prior arrest for carrying a concealed weapon and should be considered armed and dangerous, Luckett said.
One of the women, a 19-year-old, was returning about 1 a.m. Saturday to the house she shared with a 32-year-old woman, that woman’s 14-year-old daughter and two other children. She was confronted outside the door by a gunman who forced her inside.
The intruder raped and then shot all three in the head before fleeing.
The 19-year-old woman died Wednesday at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
The victims knew Metoyer, the grandson of a neighbor, Luckett said.
