It was not immediately known which LAPD station or when Deonta Darrell Johnson surrendered, said Deputy Dangelo Robinson of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Johnson is being held in lieu of $3.04 million bail, Robinson said.
Ruh, a former Marine, was working at the VP Fuels and Drive Thru Dairy convenience store, at 44419 Division Street in Lancaster, when two males walked in about 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 19. One of the males pulled out a handgun and demanded money from Ruh before opening fire. The suspects then fled in an unknown direction.
Ruh was pronounced dead at the scene.
A $30,000 reward was offered for information leading to the two suspects.
Sheriff’s officials last month announced that a male juvenile had been arrested and charged in connection with the case. Detectives then sought help from the public in locating Johnson.
Johnson is scheduled to be arraigned at the Antelope Valley Courthouse on Thursday, May 31, according to LASD inmate records.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

I herd they let him out they didn’t have enough evidence and that he DID DO IT AND THEY HAVE SOMEONE IN CUSTODY THAT DIDN’T DO IT RIGHT NOW
Some person most y’all know says
Okay this is what I heard on the streets just saying because if it’s true they the Law Need to do something about the situation. For one man I could never be at the hand of someone’s life and determine what there outcome will be because it is not for them to judge only god can judge.
But back to my concern for One I heard the person whom was arrested for being an assumed and accused killer of MR.Rue is not the person whom was involved and they got the wrong person and let the real killer go on the streets free because lack of evidence but supposedly he really is the killer and the police made a mistake. That’s what I heard though I can’t say if it’s true but mills is the name they said. something to invetagate just in Case there were a mistake. Because no good things are ever spoken of this young man and he has no love for no one and acussed. Rapist of 2 girls I’m sorry if I am putting false info out there if I’m wrong but I can’t let this go as just rumor has it but what if it’s true. I don’t know if what I just posted was even a right thing to do because I don’t know and didn’t see it so I don’t know but that’s what I heard. God bless us all help us learn to love one another with all divine. For we don’t know how!Amen

My heart still go out to this kind,and friendly man, and I truly thank him for his service, ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE!!!, I should know my son and brother in law choose to serve their country as MARINES…
I am glad this person of interest turned himself in, somehow I don’t think he was the trigger man, but he will be charged as such. That’s the price you pay when connecting to the wrong people in life.

Hang them both. From a crane.
Johnny John Meyer says
I’m glad they caught this SOB. He should be locked up and the key thrown away.
Proud MARINE MOM says
He turned himself in to face what was done. He may not pulled the trigger, but he is as guilty as the one that did. Now they will become the burdens of the state for life living better than homeless children…that sucks!!!
Someone says says
Johnny John Meyer- shouldn’t it be written as “and throw away the key”? LOL
Alby says
It ain’t written. It’s typed.
