Police took a 17-year-old female into custody after another teenager was killed by gunfire in a residential neighborhood in Santa Ana on Thursday, Sept. 6.

The youth was found in the street in the 1000 block of West Richland Avenue, Santa Ana Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. He had a gunshot wound to his upper body and was pronounced dead at about 10 minutes after the initial shooting call at 1:18 a.m.

Residents reported hearing one gunshot at Richland Avenue and Shelton Street but didn’t witness the shooting, according to Bertagna. He said a vehicle was found nearby that appeared to have been involved in the crime. Officers also found a gun believed to have been used in the shooting and questioned a man and a woman who were with the victim.

“They were with him and are being questioned about their involvement,” Bertagna said of the adults.

An investigation led officers to arrest a 17-year-old female sometime before 2 p.m. at her home in the City of Orange, according to a news release from the Orange Police Department. It said she will be held at the Orange County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of manslaughter.

The suspect’s name is being withheld because she is a minor, but the victim was identified as Santa Ana resident Bryan Chavez, according to Bertagna. He said that detectives were piecing together the chain of events that led to the shooting, but had not released any additional details.
