This week a man and two teens were taken into custody in connection with the murder of 69 year old Jesus Rocha of Helendale back in December.
Relatives of Jesus reported him missing on Dec 16th stating that he had been gone for four days. They then contacted authorities again on the 19th to say they had found human remains on the Rocha property. The remains were later identified as those of Jesus.
From there the investigation led homicide detectives to the home of a 17 year old boy where they arrested Edgar
Gutierrez, 39, of Los Angeles and the boy. Another teenager was arrested at Santee High School.
Gutierrez is being held on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and murder while the boys have been booked at a juvenile center for kidnapping and murder. A motive has not yet been released.
