Arrest made in fatal double-shooting in Panorama City

PANORAMA CITY, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A one-eyed suspect has been arrested in connection to a double shooting outside a 7-Eleven on Sepulveda and Roscoe boulevards in Panorama City on July 17.

Three men were shot. Maron States, 26, and Deshawn Miles, 19, were killed, according to the coroner's office.

LAPD officers were searching for 29-year-old Angel Santana, who was described as armed and dangerous.

Following a tip from gang officers assigned to LAPD's Mission Police Station, Santana was found hanging out with a woman and another man at the Palms Motel Saturday night.

All three were detained. The man was arrested on outstanding warrants. The woman was released, and Santana was booked on suspicion of murder. He is being held in lieu of $1 million bail.

"We had information that Santana was still local," LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said. "Every gang officer was looking for this guy. It was just a matter of time."

Police are looking for a second suspect, but a description was not immediately available.

"We still have one more shooter to identify," Vernon said. "With Santana in custody, that might come a little easier."

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with further information was urged to call Detective Gretchen Schultz at (818) 838-9951.
