SAN DIEGO — A probationer who allegedly took part in a suspected gang-related shooting that fatally wounded two men last week at a Grantville-area apartment complex was behind bars Wednesday and facing murder charges, authorities said.
Charles Patrick Burke Jr., 31, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at a Rancho Bernardo gas station in connection with the deadly gunfire in the 4500 block of Alvarado Canyon Road, according to the San Diego Police Department.
Burke allegedly was one of at least three assailants who opened fire shortly before 9 p.m. Friday during a confrontation with people gathered near a pool at the residential complex just north of Interstate 8 and east of Fairmount Avenue, SDPD Lt. Jud Campbell said.
The shooting gravely wounded 24-year-old Lavion Estridge, who worked as a security guard at the complex, and San Diego resident Joseph Taylor, 31. Paramedics took the victims to a trauma center, where they were pronounced dead.
What prompted the deadly gunfire remains under investigation.
"These details will still have to be confirmed through comprehensive evaluation of the physical evidence," Campbell said Wednesday.
Burke was booked into San Diego Central Jail, where he was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Police have publicly identified no other suspects in the case.
