Long Beach police arrested a 34-year-old Long Beach resident on suspicion of killing 17-year-old Briana Soto in March.
A suspect has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old Long Beach girl who was killed while walking home. The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Troy Lamar Fox, of Long Beach, who is accused of killing Briana Soto in March, authorities said. Authorities said they pursued DNA, video and cellphone evidence to identify Fox, who they discovered was already in Los Angeles County sheriff's custody on an unrelated weapons violation.
She was shot shortly after hanging up and just steps away from her door near 11th Street and Lewis Avenue, the paper quoted police as saying. “Briana Soto was just 17 years old when she was tragically taken away from her family,” Long Beach Police Chief Wally Hebeish said in a statement Friday. 'We will be working closely with our partners throughout the criminal justice system to ensure Briana and her family receive the justice they deserve.
