Man Held in Slaying of Store Manager
Police have arrested a suspect with a lengthy criminal record for Thursday’s point-blank gunshot slaying of a HomeBase store manager. Police took Daniel Carl Frederickson, 33, an unemployed resident of Garden Grove, into custody for questioning Friday evening and confiscated a .32-caliber revolver believed to have been used in the slaying, Officer Michael Fuller said. The motive appeared to be robbery in the shooting of Scott H. Wilson, 30, of Costa Mesa. He was walking with $50 in change from the safe in the front of the store toward a cashier.
