LA PUENTE : Man Held in Movie Theater Killing Cleared, Released
A 19-year-old La Puente man arrested in the shooting death of a teen-age boy inside a City of Industry movie theater has been released by authorities.
A search of Fernando Solis’ home and further investigation revealed that he was not involved in the April 22 murder of Marco Facio, 17, at the Puente Mall 4 AMC Theater, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Gil Carrillo said.
Facio was shot to death, and his 20-year-old female companion wounded, at 11:15 p.m. by a gunman who entered the theater during a showing of “American Me,” the saga of the leader of a prison gang. The shooting was gang-related, detectives said.
