Man was naked as he was arrested on football field on campus.

A teenager is dead, and a man suspected of killing him was arrested on the football field of a nearby high school in the Conejo Valley.

Deputies were called to a home on the 400 block of Jeanne Court in Newbury Park just after eight Thursday night by reports of a disturbance.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Deputy Ashley Barrios says they arrived to find a teenager who suffered what she described as a blunt force trauma. He died a short time later at a hospital.

Minutes later, deputies were called to nearby Newbury Park High School, by reports of a naked man on campus. The school was placed on lockdown.

The man was arrested on the football field. Investigators say he is the suspect in the killing, and that the man in his 20's knew the victim. They aren't saying whether the two were related.

No one else was hurt. The names of the victim and suspect haven’t been released yet.
