Police say the five suspects threatened witnesses and their families in the case of Jason Trejo and Eric Benites, who are being tried in Long Beach Superior Court for the 2008 murder of Florentino Rivera.
Detectives from the gang and violent crimes division served search warrants at three locations in Long Beach and Thursday arrested Jose Garcia, 19; Jesus Perez, 21; Bernardo Villareal, 19; Jorge Gomez, 32; and Efren Flores, 19.
“Witnesses coming forward to testify are crucial to the successful prosecution of cases, and bringing justice to murder victims and their families is just as important,” said Long Beach police Lt. Lloyd Cox.
