On February 21, Chino police detectives arrested three young adult men for suspected armed robbery, attempted murder, and assault in their ongoing investigation involving calls made about a disturbance in the neighborhood block of 3900 Yellowstone Circle from a house party.
18-year-old Kevin Devon Thomas of Azusa, 19-year-old Tariq Rayshawn Thompson of West Covina, and 20-year-old Deangelo Rabon of La Puente were arrested after detectives sent out 5 search warrants in the area, (one on February 21st) with Devon and Thompson booked for robbery and assault while Rabon was booked for attempted murder and robbery, according to a Chino press release.
In an article from the Chino Champion Newspapers about the incident, police spokeswoman Monica Gutierrez said that warrants were sent to homes at the 800 block of Vincent Avenue in Azusa, 3800 block of Muirfield Street in El Monte, the 15600 block of Amar Road, and the 900 block of Del Valle Avenue in La Puente as well as the 1700 block of E. Natalie Avenue in West Covina.
All three are being held at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, with Rabon’s bail set at $1 million, while the other two have bails set at $100,000 each.
The neighborhood and area where the robbery and house party took place.
The police investigation started on Saturday February 17 when law enforcement responded to calls made about fighting that occurred at a house party. Officers intended to arrive at the crime scene, but received another caller, who reported witnessing an armed robbery occur at the same place where the fighting ensued. It appeared that an unidentified African American suspect prepared to steal the caller’s belongings and subsequently shot at the caller with a handgun. The caller later could not be reached for further details about the ordeal.
Hours later, police answered another call from an 18-year-old man who reported being robbed of his jewelry at gunpoint, this time by two unknown African American male suspects, at the same address.
It wasn’t until police responded to a another call made by an injured male person the next morning on February 18 at roughly 9:15 in the morning in the Chino Valley Medical Hospital Center that they were able to connect the separate incidents.
The injured victim in the hospital claimed that he was beaten and attacked by someone with a pistol who had attempted to rob him, and was revealed to be present at the same party where the fight occurred. Shots were fired, but the victim was not hit. The victim also claimed that another 15-year-old male was assaulted as he tried to help him.
