A 21-year-old Arizona man was arrested Tuesday, May 30 in connection with a shooting at the Anaheim Gardenwalk that left a 32-year-old man from Highland dead in May, police announced Friday.
Phoenix resident Aristeo Martinez was arrested on suspicion of killing Deonte Lenin, 32, who was found dead from a gunshot wound in the Gardenwalk parking structure in the early hours of May 21, according to a news release from the Anaheim Police Department.
It was not immediately clear if Martinez and Lenin knew each other.
Another victim, a 21-year-old from Arizona named Elian Arvayo, was found dead from a gunshot wound nearby, but the news release did not say if Martinez has been arrested in connection with Arvayo’s death, as well.
As of Friday, Martinez was being held at Maricopa County jail in lieu of $1 million bail, pending extradition proceedings, the release said.
