There’s been an arrest in what believed to be the random killing of a man in Ventura County.
John Carrillo was shot to death last December in the carport of his Oxnard apartment building. Detectives say the 20-year-old man was approached by gang members, and was shot after a brief conversation.
Investigators say their four-month-long investigation led to Michael Ortega of Oxnard being identified as the person responsible for the killing.
The 23-year-old man was already in the Ventura County Jail on unrelated charges at the time of his arrest this week for the killing.
