IRWINDALE — Arraignment was postponed Thursday for a Glendora man accused of killing his father with a dumbbell and stashing his body at an Irwindale storage facility.
Jonathan Pedraza, 24, was initially due for arraignment Thursday, but was ordered back to Pomona Superior Court Nov. 4, when he will enter a plea to charges of murder, felony vandalism and hit-and-run, court officials said.
The suspect is charged with killing his 62-year-old father, Miguel Pedraza of Glendora, Sept. 10 with a free weight inside a storage locker at A-1 Mini Storage, 4391 Irwindale Ave. in Irwindale. The body was discovered a short time later after the son allegedly drove a car through a security gate to flee the storage facility.
A motive in the slaying was not released.
According to sheriff’s booking records, Jonathan Pedraza was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
