A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of shooting another man in Santa Ana last week, authorities said.

On June 3 at around 6:45 p.m., 19-year-old Angel Junior Vuelvas was found lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds when officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1100 block of South Poplar Street, Santa Ana police said.

Vuelvas, a resident of Santa Ana, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The suspect, Gabriel Gutierrez, also of Santa Ana, fled before police arrived and was arrested Friday on suspicion of murder, police said Tuesday.
