19-year-old alleged gang member has been charged with opening fire on a group of teens at a Venice park, killing two and wounding a third.
Michael Mariscal of Culver City was charged Thursday with two counts of capital murder with the special circumstances of multiple murders and to benefit a gang.
Prosecutors say five teenage boys were sitting on the bleachers waiting to play basketball in Penmar Park on June 22 when Mariscal walked up and made gang references.
He's charged with killing 18-year-old Salvador Diaz and 19-year-old Alan Mateo. A 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg.
He was arrested Tuesday and is being held without bail until his court date on July 20.
Prosecutors will decide later whether to seek the death penalty.
