Man killed by blow from 2-by-4 at Pasadena party

A man died after getting hit by a 2-by-4 at a house party in Pasadena early Sunday, police said.

Two men got in a fight around 2 a.m. at the party in the 600 block of Fresa. One ended up fatally striking the other with the piece of wood, said Vance Mitchell with the Pasadena Police Department.

Neither man's identity has been released, but they were both in their 40s and neither lived at the home, police said. The suspect is in custody, and facing a murder charge, Mitchell said.

The man's body was found around 8 a.m., police said. "The party broke up, everybody left and they didn't actually discover him till this morning," Mitchell said. "There were no witnesses to that fight."
