Authorities announced an arrest Friday afternoon in the case of a shooting rampage in Downey that left three people dead.
Jade Douglas Harris, 30, was arrested Thursday and booked into Men's Central Jail. His bail has been set at $1 million, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department inmate information website. He's scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Police said Harris matched the description of the shooter, who was described as a 6-foot-1-inch black male weighing about 230 pounds and wearing a white T-shirt.
The 30 year old was one of four people detained for questioning Thursday in connection with the shootings at two locations blocks apart in Downey, according to police.
Three men and a woman were taken in for questioning at the Downey Police Station Thursday afternoon, said Lt. Leslie Murray. Three of them were released; one of the men was still being questioned by investigators late Thursday.
At a news conference Thursday night, police identified the victims in the shooting rampage that rocked a community: Josimar Rojas, 26 of Downey; Irene Cardenas, 35, of Cudahy; Susana Perez-Ruelas, 34, of Downey.
Rojas and Cardenas were employees at the family's business, identified as United States Fire Protection Investigators, which is across the street from a Coca-Cola bottling plant.
Because surveillance cameras at the business were not working at the time of the shootings, footage from the Coca-Cola plant were instrumental in the investigation, police said.
