Authorities are identifying a man shot to death outside of a Central Coast bar over the weekend, and say they’ve arrested a suspect in the killing.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 100 block of East Clark Avenue in Orcutt at about 1:30 Saturday morning by reports of a shooting. They found the body of Anthony San Juan of Santa Maria. The 34 year old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives say they found evidence linking the killing to Jonathan David Highley. The 35 year old man was arrested at his house in Orcutt Sunday morning. Highley’s wife, Mayra Perez, was also arrested on an accessory to murder charge.
Detectives say they’re still trying to pinpoint the motive for the murder.
