Suspect Is Arrested in Double Slaying
San Diego police arrested a 21-year-old man Wednesday in connection with the killings of two teen-age boys found shot to death in February on the front lawn of a San Diego high school.
Mon Smann, a community college student living in East San Diego, was brought to police headquarters for questioning, then arrested, officers said. He will be arraigned on two counts of murder next week, police said.
The bodies of Sisouphanh Khamphila, 18, and Chang Lee, 16, were found Feb. 2 on the front lawn of Morse High School. Each had been shot in the head, at close range by a small-caliber handgun.
Police said they linked Smann to the two killings by the gun used in the crime, which officers had found, and by property taken from one of the two boys at the time.
