Valinda shooting suspect dies from self-inflicted wound
VALINDA -- A man suspected of shooting his girlfriend's father and brother before shooting himself died early Thursday at the hospital, authorities said.
Bryan Ornelas, 21, was taken off life support at the request of family members about 12:30 a.m., Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Steven Katz said. He died just over a half an hour later.
Ornelas allegedly shot his girlfriend's father and brother Monday in the 16200 block of Benwick Street when they tried to intervene in a dispute Ornelas and his girlfriend were having over child custody.
He then led police on a chase to the 1600 block of Mullender Avenue, officials said, where he shot himself in the head.
