An ex-con was charged Monday with killing a relative in the Palms area.
Andrew Conaway, 35, of Los Angeles, was charged with one count each of murder, possession of a firearm by a felon and unlawful possession of ammunition, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Conaway was arrested in connection with last Thursday’s shooting death of Jeffrey Faiz, 61, in the 3600 block of Military Avenue.
Witnesses told officers that the suspect entered the victim’s home and shot him, LAPD Officer Annie Moran told City News Service. Faiz died at the scene.
Moran said the victim and the suspect were related, although the nature of the relationship was not immediately made clear.
Conaway was arrested last Thursday evening by Los Angeles police and has remained behind bars since then, according to jail records.
