"During the investigation it was learned that Joshua Simmons was also responsible for an attempted robbery" in El Monte, the news release said. Simmons is said to have used bear repellent to disorient jewelry store employees before being forcibly ejected from the establishment shirtless.

Simmons now faces a battery of charges, including murder, personal use of a firearm, making criminal threats, and attempted robbery. In addition, he has been charged with two further counts of making criminal threats and personal use of bear spray in connection to the attempted smash-and-grab in El Monte. Simmons was arrested Oct. 3 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and has remained behind bars since then in lieu of more than $3.2 million bail, according to county jail records.

Vance was charged with one count of accessory-after-the-fact in connection with Murphy's death. He is free on bond while awaiting arraignment next week, jail records show.

Both suspects "are known to be acquaintances of the victim," the Sheriff's Department said.

The motive for the killing remains unknown, investigators said, as they are still continuing their investigation.

Santa Ana winds are on track for Saturday Night through at least Monday. This is a DANGEROUS situation. Residents in high fire danger areas should PREPARE NOW if called to evacuate.

All lanes of PCH are OPEN in Malibu following a closure at Rambla Vista starting Tuesday night for investigation of a multiple fatality collision.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the crash happened Tuesday around 8:30 p.m. when the suspect reportedly lost control of his westbound dark gray four-door BMW and slammed into three parked cars before ricocheting and fatally striking the victims, who officials said were standing on the side of the road. Four women died at the scene. Two other people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition.



Pepperdine University released a statement saying they have reason to believe the four individuals killed were Seaver College Students. Seaver is the liberal arts school at Pepperdine.



“We continue to cooperate with law enforcement and care for loved ones affected by this tragic event. As we await further details from the investigation, we pray for our entire community. The University will provide updates as we receive additional information.”

The driver was identified as Malibu resident Fraser Bohm, 22. Bohm was booked on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, but he has been released from custody, L.A. County Sheriff's Capt. Jennifer Seetoo said during a press conference.
