A suspect in the killing of a man in his 70s is being taken from San Francisco to Orange County to be booked on suspicion of murder, authorities said Wednesday.
Deputies were called at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday after friends found the victim, whose name was not immediately released, in a residence near Brakers Isle and Niguel Shores Drive, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Investigators suspect the victim was shot several days ago.
Authorities used license plate readers to track down the victim’s car in San Francisco, where they found the suspect inside the vehicle and arrested him, deputies said.
Cordell Dionte Studley, 32, was on his way back to Orange County for booking. It was not clear how Studley was acquainted with the victim.
