    A Lakeview Terrace man is scheduled to be arraigned today on charges of shooting three of his neighbors in 2016, killing two of them, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

    Richard Chico Nevarez aka Slick Rick, 38,faces two counts of murder as well as one count each of attempted murder and assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

    The charges include a special circumstance allegation of multiple murders and allegations of use of a handgun as a deadly weapon and a 2008 conviction for first-degree burglary.

    Moises Farias, 68, Edgar Canaan, 47, and a third man were shot on Aug. 28, 2016, the prosecutor said. Farias and Castro died as a result of their injuries. The victims were allegedly involved in an argument with the defendant’s family over tires screeching noises, the prosecutor added.

    As the argument died down, Nevarez reportedly arrived at the scene and opened fire on the victims, the prosecutor said.

    The defendant faces death or life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted as charged. A decision on whether to seek capital punishment will be made at a later date. Nevarez is being held with no bail.

    The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, Valley Bureau Homicide.

    Lake View Terrace Man Pleads Not Guilty to Killing Two Neighbors

    MyNewsLA.com

    A Lake View Terrace man pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he shot and killed two neighbors and wounded a third during an argument about tire-screeching noises.

    Richard Chico Nevarez — also known as “Slick Rick” — is charged with two counts of capital murder for the Aug. 28, 2016, shooting deaths of Moises Farias, 68, and Edgar Canaan, 47, along with one count each of attempted murder and assault with a semi-automatic firearm, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

    The murder charges include the special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders, along with allegations of use of a handgun and a 2008 conviction for first-degree burglary. Prosecutors will decide later whether to seek the death penalty against the 38-year-old defendant, who was charged last April.

    Farias, Canaan and a third neighbor got into an argument with Nevarez’s family over tire-screeching noises, and Nevarez arrived at the scene and allegedly opened fire on the three men as the argument subsided, Deputy District Attorney Bradley Lieberman said.

    Farias and Canaan died at a hospital, while the third victim survived.

    Nevarez — who was arrested by Los Angeles police last March — is jailed without bail.

    He is due back in a San Fernando courtroom April 16, when a date is scheduled to be set for a hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence to allow the case against him to proceed to trial.
