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.
