Roommates’ Dispute Ends in 2 Deaths

Two Norwalk men were slain and a third was wounded when a dispute among four roommates who lived in a garage erupted in gunfire early Saturday, sheriff’s deputies said.

Detectives said they were seeking Angel Velasquez, 33, for questioning in connection with the 12:40 a.m. shootings.

The incident occurred in a converted garage behind a Barnwall Street house. One of the slain men was shot in the head and the other was shot in the upper torso, said Sheriff’s Lt. Dale Goss. The men’s identities were being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The unidentified wounded man went to the door of the front house and the landlord called for help. The man was listed in critical condition at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange County.
