LA CRESTA (CNS) – Two more of three suspects were in custody in connection with the shooting death of a 35-year-old man in La Cresta, a community west of Murrieta, authorities said Sunday.

They were identified as 37-year-old Enrique Rojas of Murrieta and 23- year-old Richard Smith of Hemet, according to Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Ben Ramirez.
