NEWHALL, Calif.—A Santa Clarita man and a 16-year-old Valencia boy were identified March 19 as the victims found shot to death at the pool of a Newhall apartment complex.

Brian Chevez was 25 years old and Cameron Stokes was the juvenile victim, according to the coroner’s office.

Authorities were notified at 10:50 a.m. Saturday of a shooting at the Village Apartment Homes at 23700 Valle del Oro, just north of Newhall Avenue, homicide Lt. Hugo Reynaga of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told reporters at the scene.

Both victims suffered gunshot wounds to their upper bodies and were pronounced dead at the scene, Reynaga said.

Witnesses saw a man reach over the pool fence and fire shots before running toward the apartment complex parking lot, he said.

Deputies stopped a white vehicle matching the description given by witnesses within minutes and detained two young men inside as “persons of interest,” Reynaga said. Their identities were not revealed.

Early investigation suggested the shooting may be gang-related, he said.

KeyNews.tv reported that county paramedics dispatched to the scene arrived to find one person on the floor of a community pool and the other victim lying on a pool chair.

The sheriff’s Homicide Bureau urged anyone with information about the deaths to call them at 323-890-5500. Tipsters may also call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, or use its website.
