The deadly chain of events started Friday when Murrietta and his 17-year-old brother got into an argument with four others in a parking lot at First and Gettysburg avenues.
When the four drove away, police say the 17-year-old fired several gunshots at their car, causing it to crash into a tree. The driver, 19-year-old Eugenio Ybarra, was not hit by a bullet but died in the crash.
Because the shooting caused a death, the 17-year-old Murrietta brother is being held responsible.
“He's been charged with one count of murder and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon,” Dyer said.
The gun used in Friday's shooting has not been found. The 16-year-old shot by a police officer remains on life support, and family members held a vigil outside the hospital Sunday and accused police of over reacting.
Lol, the police “overreacted.” I’m guessing all the “family members” present were female.
