HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES -- A fifth suspect has been arrested in connection with a series of follow-home robberies that occurred in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Glendale and Fontana, as well as the fatal shooting of a man near a Hollywood restaurant, authorities announced Saturday.
Marquis Ford, 24, was taken into custody for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of Jose Ruiz Gutierrez, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. Ford, an L.A. resident, was booked on suspicion of murder and was being held in lieu of $2 million bail. Gutierrez, 23, was waiting in a car outside Bossa Nova restaurant, in the 7100 block of Sunset Boulevard, at around 2 a.m. on Nov. 23 when his girlfriend stepped out and was accosted by a group of men who tried to rob her, investigators said.
Gutierrez, who was armed with a weapon, got out of the car to intervene and was fatally shot before the suspects fled, an LAPD spokesperson said. Authorities believe Ford was tied -- with four others -- to a rash of follow-home robberies that plagued the city.
