Witness statements and surveillance cameras recently installed by the county at the beach helped to identifying Ortega as the suspect, police said.
A firearm was found at the scene. Ballistics tests were ongoing to determine if that was the weapon that was used. McGuyre said he did not know whether that firearm was legal or a ghost gun.
He also faces a carjacking count and three attempted carjacking counts from April 2021, inmate records show. Among those at the park were two group: One of family members and friends, and another with ties to the San Pedro gang, McGuyre said. An argument broke out — over what was not revealed — which led to a fistfight and the suspect pulling out a gun and firing, the captain said. There has been no indication that the groups knew each other.
