Police correct age of man wanted in recent Chino killing

A man wanted in connection with a recent killing in Chino is 19 years old, not 29 as previously reported by Chino officials, authorities said Thursday.

Andrew Angel Valenzuela of Ontario was allegedly involved in the killing of David Arthur Padilla of Pomona, whose body was found under a 60 Freeway overpass Nov. 7.

Chino police have been unable to locate Valenzuela, and are seeking the public's assistance in finding him.

Police say Valenzuela is a member of a Pomona street gang, and has a large "P" tattoo on the right side of his neck. He has friends and family in Pomona and San Bernardino, according to a Chino spokeswoman.

Valenzuela pleaded no contest in Pomona Superior Court last month to a misdemeanor count of second-degree burglary of a vehicle, according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Pomona police arrested Valenzuela on Oct. 16, and he was released from custody Oct. 21, according to online records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and placed on probation for three years, the district attorney spokeswoman said.

Also suspected in the killing of Padilla, 29, is 32-year-old Robert Louis Caballero of Ontario.

Caballero has also been charged with murder for a September killing in Pomona, and is a suspect in the killing of a woman whose body was found buried this month beside Mt. Baldy Road in the San Gabriel Mountains.

The Chino Police Department has asked anyone with information on Padilla's death or Valenzuela's whereabouts to contact them at (909) 590-5549.
