Double Murder Suspect arrested. Angel Santana found in local motel Saturday night.

Panorama City:  Gang officers assigned to LAPD’s Mission Police Station followed a trail of gang intelligence to a local motel where they found Angel Santana, wanted in the double homicide on July 17, 2014, in front of a 7-Eleven in Panorama City.  Three men were shot and two died in that shooting.

“We had information that Santana was still local,” said Lt. Paul Vernon, who heads up the Mission Detective Division.  “Every gang officer was looking for this guy.  It was just a matter of time.”

Originally, it was a gang officer on the morning of the shooting who connected a witness’s description of a one-eyed shooter to Angel Santana.  And last Saturday night, officers from the same gang unit discovered information at one local motel that led them to the Palms Motel on Sepulveda Boulevard, where, it turns out, Santana was hanging out with a woman and another man.

All three were detained.  The man was arrested on warrants.  The woman was released, and Santana was booked on a murder charge, with bail set at $1 million.

Santana’s arrest highlights the value of a law enforcement gang unit.  “These officers know the players: who are enemies and allies, who are feuding; the gang gossip, the tattoos, the cars, etc.,” Lt. Vernon explained.  “Around here, local motels are prime places to find gang members and intelligence, and that’s just where they found Santana.”

Detectives will present the case to prosecutors over the next couple days to secure a murder charge against Santana, while they continue to investigate the case.  “We still have one more shooter to identify,” Lt. Vernon added.  “With Santana in custody, that might come a little easier.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Det. Gretchen Schultz, Mission Homicide Unit, at
(818) 838-9951.  During off-hours, calls should be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at

BOLO Suspect identified in double murder

Suspect Identified in Double Murder

Panorama City.  Detectives have released a photo of Angel Santana, 29, one of two men suspected in the double murder in Panorama City, this morning, July 17, 2014.

“Santana is a known gang member and with his appearance, it won’t be easy for him to hide,” said Capt. Todd Chamberlain, commanding officer of LAPD’s Mission Police Station.  “We’ve already alerted CHP and the US Border Patrol to be on the lookout for Santana en route to or trying to cross the border.”

Witnesses identified Santana as one of the two shooters who killed two men in front of the 7-Eleven at Roscoe and Sepulveda Boulevards around 6 AM this morning.

There was a brief confrontation or exchange of words, then the suspects pulled guns and fired.  Both men died where they fell in front of the store.  A third man, who is in his 50s, was also wounded by gunfire while standing near the victims.  He is an associate of the victims, and he is cooperating with detectives.  The injured man is in stable condition and expected to recover.

“We are still trying to piece together what motivated the shooting,” Chamberlain said.  “But we do have enough to know this was not some random act.  It appears there was some rivalry or animus between the groups.”

“With one suspect identified, it should not be long before we identify the other suspect,” Chamberlain added.  “Gang members should take note that the last double-murder suspect was just sentenced to life without the possibility of parole at 20 years old.  Killing another human being aside, what could ever be worth life in prison at 20 years old?”

Angel Santana is 5’7” tall, weighs 150 lbs.  He is missing his left eye and has tattoos over his left eyebrow, right jaw and right side of his neck.  He should be considered armed and dangerous.  He drives a tan 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck, license 7U83839 (CA).

Anyone with information is urged to call Det. Gretchen Schultz, Mission Homicide Unit, at
(818) 838-9951.  Anonymous tips can be called into Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477), or by texting 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone.  All text messages should begin with the letters “LAPD.”  Online tips may be placed at www.LAPDOnline.org, click on “webtips” and follow the prompts.

Notes from a burglar....what they don't want you to know!

§  Thanks for the ladder!

Call me a social climber if you will, but I did discover a ladder in your back yard. Thank you for leaving it where I could lean it against your home and easily reach a second-story window. I really love it when upper story openings aren’t wired to a home security system!

So, if you want to keep me out, store your ladder in the basement or a locked garage. And call your security company to wire upper-story windows into your alarm system.

§  Loved your trash

Can’t tell you how much fun I have driving around neighborhoods on trash day (especially after big gift holidays) when the empty boxes on the curb reveal what wonderful new toys you have. Your thoughtfulness made it possible for me to land a new laptop and a flat-screen television in one easy trip to your home!

Next time, break down the boxes and conceal them in the recycling or trash bins.

§  Dear Can’t-Get-Around-to-It

Recently, I noticed you hadn’t trimmed trees and shrubs around your home, so I knew I’d have a wonderful place to hide while I worked to break into your home. I really can’t thank you enough for all the great new things I grabbed.

Next time, trim back bushes and trees near windows and doors. Make sure entry points to your home are easily visible from the street — I much prefer to work in private! While you’re at it, install motion-sensor lighting. I’m scared of bright lights!

§  Su casa es mi casa!

I was sincerely relieved to find your back door was a plain wood-panel door. I had no trouble kicking it in (my knees appreciate how easy that was!) Imagine how silly I felt when I discovered that your windows weren’t locked anyway.

You may want to take a cue from your neighbor and install steel-wrapped exterior doors with deadbolts on all your entries. And be sure your windows are locked when you’re away.

§  Bad reflection on you.

You’d be surprised how many home owners position a mirror in their entry hall so I can see from a window if the alarm system is armed. (Yours wasn’t, but I’m guessing you know that by now!) Thanks for taking a lot of pressure off of me.

A little free advice: Relocate the mirror so your alarm system isn’t visible if someone else would peer through a window.

§  The telltale grass

Wow, isn’t it amazing how fast the grass grows these days? I swung by now and then and noticed your lawn was uncut, newspapers were piling up on the front steps, and your shades were always closed. To me, that’s an open invitation.

Next time, hire someone you trust to mow regularly, pick up around the doorstep, open and close various window shades, and turn different lights on and off (or put a few on timers). One more thing: Lock any car you leave in the driveway, or I can use your garage door opener to get in quickly.

§  Getting carried away

Many thanks for putting your valuables into an easy-to-carry safe that I could carry right out your back door. (Nice jewelry, and thank you for the cash!)

You may want to invest in a wall safe, which I rarely attempt to open. Or, rent a lock box at your bank.

§  Dear BFF

Thanks for alerting a professional acquaintance of mine via your social network that you were away for the week in Puerto Vallarta, having the time of your life. Me? I enjoyed a very relaxing visit to your home with no pressure of being caught.

If only you had known that posting comments and photos of your trip on social networks is fine — but do that after you return so you won’t broadcast your absence!
