The killings of six people found shot in the California desert, in which some of the victims were also burned, is believed to have stemmed from a dispute over marijuana, officials said Monday.
Five people were arrested Sunday in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles, and the sheriff’s office said there are no other outstanding suspects.
“I can guarantee you we got the five right people,” Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a news conference.
The six victims were found last week in or near two vehicles at an intersection in El Mirage, in the Mojave Desert, after one of the victims called 911 at around 8:16 p.m. Tuesday and said he’d been shot but didn’t know where he was, sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Warrick said.
“It appeared the call ended,” Warrick said. The phone was tracked, and a Dodge Caravan that had been shot multiple times was found, as well as a Chevy Trailblazer, he said.
