SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A second suspect — a 16-year-old boy — was in custody Wednesday in connection with the fatal shootings of two men at a Nestor-area storage lot near the U.S.-Mexico border over the Labor Day weekend, authorities reported.<\/p>\n

The juvenile suspect, a Tijuana resident whose name was withheld because he is a minor, was arrested Friday for allegedly taking part in the slayings of Aaron Cruz, 42, and 64-year-old Richard Hartung in the 2000 block Sunset Avenue in Nestor, according to the San Diego Police Department.<\/p>\n

At about 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 30, patrol officers responding to reports of gunfire found Cruz and Hartung dead inside the camping-style trailers they lived in at the storage facility just north of the international line, SDPD Lt. Lou Maggi said.<\/p>\n

“With the assistance of city-owned and private security cameras, investigators developed information about a possible suspect vehicle, a red Chevy Suburban,” Maggi said. “Investigators canvassed the area and located a similar vehicle.”<\/p>\n

On Sept. 2, officers pulled over the SUV on West Calle Primera in San Ysidro and arrested the driver, 24-year-old David Verduzco Kruglova, on suspicion of participating in the fatal shootings, police said.<\/p>\n
