Three men await extradition to California from three states following their arrests in connection with a Los Angeles triple homicide earlier this year, the city’s authorities announced
Friday. The three women were killed in the affluent Beverly Crest neighborhood near Beverly Hills on January 28 “were not the intended targets,” Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Jonathan Tippet said at a news conference. A group of people were renting a house in the area while visiting the city to support a Chicago rapper. After returning from bowling, they were targeted in an “ambush-style attack during which more than 30 rounds were fired,” authorities said.
He described the shooting, in which the three victims were slain in a vehicle, as “callous and violent.” The cross-country investigation led authorities to the three suspects. Authorities arrested Dejean Thompkins, 28, in Chicago; Dontae Williams, 22, in Gary, Indiana; and Daries Stanford, 28, in New York, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. They each face three counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder and assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
