Suspect Is Sought in Slaying at Gas Station
Sheriff’s deputies searched Monday for a suspect who robbed and killed a 26-year-old man buying gas at a Santa Clarita station.
Brandon Hunsche, of Newhall, was at a Texaco station in the 24400 block of Lyons Avenue on Sunday with his girlfriend when approached by the suspect, who pressed a gun to Hunsche’s neck and demanded money from both.
When Hunsche said he had no money, the suspect forced him into the back seat of the car and a struggle ensued, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Val Rosario said.
The suspect fled in a black Honda or Toyota, driven by an accomplice, Rosario said.
Investigators ask anyone with information to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
