ANAHEIM (CBSLA.com) — Homicide Detectives with the Anaheim Police Department are hoping the public can help them locate a murder and kidnap suspect.
Luke Theodore Lampers, described as a 35-year-old transient, is linked to a homicide Wednesday at 2123 W. Lincoln Avenue.
Police say Lampers shot and killed 49-year-old Douglas Navarro of Anahem during a dispute at the Crystal Inn around 7:30 p.m.
The reason for the dispute and motive for the shooting are still under investigation, authorities said.
