Man suspected of shooting good Samaritans in Lynwood arrested in Arcadia
<USDEFAULT>ARCADIA -- A Lynwood man accused of shooting two Good Samaritans during a botched robbery, including one who stabbed him in the neck, was arrested Monday after arriving at the Methodist Hospital in Arcadia seeking treatment, officials said.
Alleged gunman Kyle Henderson, 30, of Lynwood, is being detained at the hospital in connection with the shooting and failed robbery and being held at the hospital, according to sheriff's officials and county booking records.
Terrance Fair, 47, of Lynwood was also arrested on suspicion of driving the getaway van that dropped Henderson at the hospital, as well as Ischa Criner, 42, of Lynwood, on suspicion of taking part in the attempted robbery, sheriff's Sgt. Pauline Panis said in a written statement.
The incident began shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday when Henderson entered a meat market in the 11800 block of Atlantic Avenue in Lynwood but was confronted by two good Samaritans -- one armed with a kitchen knife, Lt. Dave Dolson said.
The witness with the knife stabbed Henderson in the neck before Henderson shot both of them and fled in a white van, investigators said.
One of them men was no expected to survive his wounds, officials said. The other suffered a gunshot wound to the hand that was not believed to be life-threatening.
Detectives arrested Henderson Tuesday morning after tracking him down at the Arcadia hospital, Panis said. The investigation then quickly led to the arrests of Fair and Criner.
Henderson and Fair, who were already on parole, were being held without bail, according to county booking records. Criner was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
All three were due for arraignment Wednesday in Compton Superior Court.
