LANCASTER – Local gang detectives arrested two teenagers early Wednesday morning for their alleged involvement in a shooting that left two men wounded after a Lancaster party in March.

The crime happened around 11 p.m. Saturday, March 26, at a party in the 43600 block of Emile Zola Avenue in Lancaster, according to a news release by the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

“Lancaster Station deputies and Operation Safe Streets both responded to the scene where the two victims had been shot numerous times as they were leaving [the party],” the news release states.

The victims, Giovanni Trejo and Danny Farias, were transported to Antelope Valley Hospital where they were treated for numerous gunshot wounds, according to the news release.

“A suspect, Ruben “Risky” Lemos, and a male juvenile Hispanic were identified as two of the participants of the crime,” the news release states. “The 15-year-old male juvenile was identified as the shooter.”

Both suspects were arrested early Wednesday morning after Operation Safe Streets detectives, Lancaster Station deputies and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Special Enforcement Bureau carried out search warrants related to the crime.

Lemos, 18, is being held in lieu of $2 million bail. Further information on the juvenile suspect was not immediately available.

The suspects are scheduled to be arraigned Friday on charges related to the shooting.

Anyone with additional information regarding the March 26 shooting is encouraged to contact Operation Safe Streets Detective Welle at 661-948-8466.

  2. The crime happened at 11 PM, according to this article. The Police showed up after the shooting. What time did neighbors start calling the Police to report the party? My experience in Lancaster was hours of reporting a noisy party with underage drinking, squealing car tires, and no Police came until the next day. If they came when they were called, when the dispatch person was clearly able to hear the noise thru the phone, maybe some of these incidents wouldn’t happen.

    • Says the keyboard gangster. Aren’t you assuming a little about the people who were shot? Jumping to conclusions maybe?

  5. You can run but you can’t hide. Now we just need to bring Rickys’ killer to justice.

    • Hopefully but sadly not all cases are solved. My cousin was killed 9 years ago at only 16 yo. No justice was ever made
      Good luck
