2 Men Arrested in December Shooting of 3
Two Westminster men were arrested this week on suspicion of murder in the shooting of three men at a Harbor Boulevard motel in December.
Thuc Tri Le, 18, and Dung Thanh Vu, 18, were arrested separately without incident Thursday after an investigation into what police called a gang-related shooting spree at the Bel Congo Motel, Costa Mesa Police Officer Allen Rieckhof said.
The victims had been renting three rooms in the motel for about a week during which there had been considerable partying, particularly on the night of the shootings, police said.
On Dec. 20, an argument broke out in one of the rooms during a party, police said. Shots were fired, and police found one man dead at the bottom of an outdoor stairwell. A second man was dead on arrival at a hospital.
