POMONA — Police arrested two men Saturday in connection with the shooting death of an unidentified woman earlier in the day, authorities said.
Albert John Martinez, 24, and Cesar Sierra, 31, both of Pomona, were arrested about 6 p.m. following a brief foot chase in the area of Grand and Garvey avenues, Pomona police Sgt. M. Perez said in a written statement.
Detectives following up on a lead spotted a Chevy Suburban containing the two suspects, the sergeant said.
When the detectives pulled the SUV over, Martinez and Sierra reportedly fled on foot but were soon captured without further incident, police said.
They are suspected of shooting a woman, who remained listed with police as a Jane Doe Sunday, about 1:30 a.m. at a Pomona Motel 6, 2470 S. Garvey Avenue, officials said.
Officials said Saturday that the incident appeared to be related to drugs and gangs.
According to court records, Martinez and Sierra are both being held without bail and are due in Pomona Superior Court Tuesday for arraignment.
