Arrests but no charges in Pico Rivera triple homicide -- suspects released
This from reporter Tracy Garcia:
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against three Whittier-area men in connection with a fatal shooting at a Pico Rivera pizza parlor, asking sheriff's investigators instead to go back and do more work on the case.
As such, two of the three suspects -- Rudy Ruiz, 30, of unincorporated Whittier, and Christopher Johnson, 18, of Montebello -- have been released, according to sheriff's Capt. Mike Rothans of the Pico Rivera station.
The third suspect, John Perez, 43, of Pico Rivera, remains in custody on a prior arrest, Rothans said.
The trio had been booked Friday on suspicion of murder in the June 27 shooting at Falcone's Pizza, where a fundraiser was being hosted in the parking lot by the Old School Riders motorcycle club.
