He was reportedly found dead on Sunday afternoon in a van nearly 30 miles away from the scene of the horrific shootout which took the lives of 10 people at a Lunar New Year celebration.

The suspect had walked into another dance hall in Alhambra where he was disarmed by “two heroes,” according to Luna, reported the Times. He reportedly later fled that venue.
