Three men were in custody Wednesday in the gang-related shooting death of another man in the south Los Angeles area last summer, authorities said.
Austin Belisle, 45, was gunned down on July 31 near 52nd and Ruthelen streets and died at a hospital, according to the coroner’s office and the Los Angeles Police Department.
“In the weeks that followed, detectives worked closely with several LAPD units, including Metropolitan Division personnel and South Bureau’s ATF Task Force,” resulting in the Oct. 7 arrests of James Dorsey, 20, Deshawn Grant, 21, and Davone Garrett, 22, accorinding to an LAPD statement.
They were booked on suspicion of murder and are being held without bail.
Also arrested that day was Jamemal Baker, 24, who was booked on suspicion of theft of the victim’s property, police said. He’s being held on $160,000 bail.
On Oct. 9, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed charges of murder, with a gang enhancement, against Dorsey, Grant and Garrett; and a charge of receiving stolen property, with a gang enhancement, against Baker, police said.
