(CBS) LOS ANGELES Sheriff's detectives arrested three people in the shooting death of a woman who interrupted a tagger in Pico Rivera, and two other suspects were still being sought, a deputy said Wednesday.
Cesar Lopez and Jennifer Tafoya, both 19 and from Pico Rivera, and a 16-year-old boy were arrested Tuesday, Deputy Oscar Butao of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
Lopez was booked for murder and denied bail, Butao said.
Tafoya and the boy, whose name was withheld because of his age, were arrested for probation violations, he said.
Maria Hicks, 58, flashed her vehicle lights and honked her horn at a male she saw tagging a wall at San Gabriel River Parkway and Woodford Street shortly before 10 p.m. on Friday night, Deputy Maribel Rizo said.
As she followed the tagger who was walking away from the wall, a car with an unknown number of male suspects, drove up behind her and someone fired several rounds at her, Rizo said.
Hicks died shortly before noon Monday, according to the sheriff's department.
Neighborhood residents repainted the wall where Hicks first saw the tagger and placed lit candles and flowers there.
Hicks "paid a high price for the idea of law and order," said HicksÂ’ brother, Ruben Quintero, an English literature professor at Cal State Los Angeles. "I think we shouldn't give up on that idea since she has already paid the price. We should hold onto this idea of being civilized."
Investigators were seeking two males in their late teens, along with a blue, late-model Lincoln Continental, according to SHB. The weapon used in the crime has not been found.
It doesn't matter how small the crime seems, you really never know what you're dealing with....
