Police are searching for three suspects after a man was fatally shot and another wounded in Stanton.

One victim was identified as Juan Cristalinas, 49, from Santa Ana. The second victim, a 76-year-old man, was not identified by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.


On June 28, 2022, deputies responded to a shooting on the 7000 block of Lesue Avenue around 7:21 p.m.

When they arrived at the scene, both victims were found suffering from gunshot wounds, authorities said.

The men were transported to a local hospital where Cristalinas was pronounced dead. The 76-year-old man survived, officials said.

Multiple suspects fled the area before authorities arrived. Deputies believe as least three male suspects were involved, all between the ages of 16-20 years old.
