A 20-year-old man was booked into the San Diego Central Jail Tuesday on suspicion of killing one young man and injuring another during a fight last week in Chula Vista, police said.
Raymundo Ochoa-Juarez was arrested with the help of the U.S. Marshal’s San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force on suspicion of killing 20-year-old Deandre Bethel, Chula Vista police Lt. Miriam Foxx said.
Officers responded shortly after 11:35 p.m. Friday to reports of a loud party in the 1100 block of Ocelot Avenue and found two men seriously injured. Paramedics took both victims to an area hospital, where Bethel was pronounced dead. A 21-year-old victim was still undergoing treatment and was expected to survive his injuries, the lieutenant said.
Ochoa-Juarez was booked into San Diego Central Jail shortly after 2:35 a.m. on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, according to jail records. He was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Dec. 4.
Authorities have not disclosed a suspected motive for the killing or what may have sparked the fight.
