2 Arrested in Slaying of Boy Found in Alley
Two men were arrested Friday on suspicion of fatally shooting a 15-year-old boy in a Pacoima alley, police said.
Carlos Sanchez and Juan Delgado, both 19, are being held without bail in connection with the slaying of Victor Manuel Mancha of Pacoima, whose body was found Sunday in an alley in the 10900 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, said Detective Marshall White of the Los Angeles Police Department.
White said Mancha was lured Sunday into a car driven by members of a rival gang who pretended to be from a friendly gang. Mancha was then driven to the alley and shot, he said.
Police identified the body after the youth’s parents came to the police station Monday to file a missing person report on their son, White said.
Police were seeking two other men believed to be involved in the killing, White said.
