A Long Beach man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in his own home last month, and a woman also faces a charge for her alleged role in the slaying.
Damion Videl Castro, 44, was arrested in Hollywood on Thursday and taken back to Long Beach to be booked in the city’s jail, the Long Beach Police Department said in a news release.
On Feb. 14, Castro allegedly shot 36-year-old Jamie Jones at their shared residence in the 2200 block of Chestnut Avenue.
“Detectives believe Jones and Castro were roommates at the residence on Chestnut Avenue and involved in an argument, which escalated into a shooting,” police said.
Castro was booked on several charges: murder, prohibited possession of a firearm, prohibited possession of ammunition, a parole violation and a fugitive warrant.
He is being held without bail at the Long Beach Police Department, and no court date information is available.
Additionally, Daniella Mika Payne, 44, faces a charge of being an accessory to murder.
Police said her bail was set at $50,000, though jail records indicate she is being held at the LBPD without bail. No court date information is available for her, either.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detectives Sean Magee and Juan Carlos Reyes at 562-570-7244.
