POMONA, Calif. (KNX) — Two men connected to the fatal shooting of a 32-year-old man in Pomona were in custody Thursday after confessing their involvement, police said.
Pomona police arrested 44-year-old Aurelio Camarillo and 28-year-old Luis Silva last week in connection to the murder of 32-year-old Luis Alberto Garcia.

Camarillo was charged with murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, and felon in possession of a fire arm. He is currently being held on $4 million bail, according to sheriff’s inmate records.
Silva was charged with accessory after the fact and is being held on $2 million bail.
Both men are scheduled to appear in court on March 24.
