Two teenagers shot, killed at Chula Vista Halloween party
Two teenagers were shot to death following an argument at a Halloween party in Chula Vista, police said Saturday.
Officers were called to East Prospect Street at 11:17 p.m. Friday, where they found a 17- and 15-year-old suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the Chula Vista Police Department.
Officers administered life-saving measures until both victims were rushed to UC San Diego Medical Center, according to police. They were both pronounced dead at the hospital.
The family of the 15-year-old identified the teen as Kane Roldan. On Monday, CVPD identified the 17-year-old as Elias “Eli” Yanez.
Police said the investigation is still ongoing, but they determined the victims were attending a Halloween party when an argument occurred, which led to shots being fired.
The department is trying to locate witnesses. Investigators also believe there is a likelihood that witnesses would have used their cell phones to record the fight.
The CVPD asked anyone with information, video of the incident or working exterior cameras around the 00 block of E. Prospect Street to contact investigators at 619-691-5075 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 888- 580-8477.
