A witness identified Alberto Ibarra as the suspect. He was a childhood friend of the victims, police said.

This week, prosecutors charged Ibarra with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. He is being held in jail without bond.

Investigators have not said what led to the shooting.

“I'm proud of the great work that led to the arrest of Ibarra and I send my sincere condolences to the Lopez family,” Superintendent of Police, Jerry R. Chlada Jr. said.
