Man Held in Robbery, Slaying at Gas Station
A 21-year-old Los Angeles man has been arrested and booked on suspicion of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a Valencia man earlier this month, sheriff’s officials said Thursday.
Anthony Graham turned himself in Wednesday at the Lost Hills/Malibu Sheriff’s Station, said Det. Richard Longshore of the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau. Graham also was booked on two counts of robbery, Longshore said.
Brandon Hunsche was robbed and killed Oct. 1 at a Santa Clarita gas station. Graham is accused of being the getaway driver for the alleged shooter, Phaynes Reeda, 30, who was arrested Oct. 2 and faces murder and robbery charges, officials said.
Graham and Reeda, who are jailed without bail, were videotaped by several outdoor surveillance cameras as the suspects followed Hunsche and his girlfriend from a Hollywood Park casino to Santa Clarita, officials said. Hunsche had won $600 to $700 at the casino, deputies said.
