Man, 24, Arrested On Suspicion Of Killing Father
IRWINDALE (CBS) — A Hollywood man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his 62-year-old father, whose body was found Friday in a storage locker in Irwindale.
Sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said Saturday that 24-year-old Jonathan Pedraza was arrested Friday night after witnesses watched him ram through the gate of A1 Mini Storage in Irwindale and took down his license plate number. Hecht said Pedraza was arrested after crashing in Baldwin Park.
Deputies said Irwindale police found the body of Miguel L. Pedraza in a storage unit when they arrived.
"I didn't even say goodbye. I didn't even say 'I love you' for the last time," Lorna Lualhati, the victim's girlfriend, said.
There was no immediate word on how or why Miguel Pedraza was killed, and it was unclear if Jonathan Pedraza had hired an attorney.
