Two Men Slain Outside Santa Ana Bar
Two men were fatally shot outside a Santa Ana bar early Saturday morning, police said.
At 1:44 a.m., police were called to El Tapatio in the 3700 block of W. Warner Avenue, Santa Ana Police Sgt. Alan Caddell said. When officers arrived, they found evidence of a shooting in the parking lot.
Friends already had taken the victims--Antonio Morales, 24, and Julio Valdivia, 28--to Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, where they were declared dead on arrival, Caddell said.
Caddell said the shooting appears to be gang-related.
