Police said a suspect turned himself in Wednesday in connection to two deadly shootings a day earlier in separate Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department initially responded to the area of West 10th Street and Victoria Avenue in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood at around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday on reports of an assault with a deadly weapon.
A 43-year-old male victim was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
“Later, it was learned the suspect intentionally struck the victim with his vehicle prior to shooting him,” police said.
The victim’s identity is being withheld pending notification of family, police said.
A second incident was reported around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday about two miles away in the Koreatown neighborhood.
Officers found a 38-year-old woman who had also been shot multiple times dead in the passenger seat of a vehicle parked on South Berendo Street near West 8th Street. The victim’s identity in this shooting was also being withheld, police said.
“The suspect responsible for both murders walked into 77th Area station and was identified as Marvin Magana, a 50-year-old resident of Los Angeles,” the Police Department stated in a late-morning news release Wednesday.
The department later told KTLA that Magana reportedly told police that his significant other had been shot. Authorities arrested and booked Magna on suspicion of murder and towed his truck from the station.
Magana is being held on $3 million bail.
No information regarding a possible motive for the shootings was released.
