NBC 7 s Dave Summers shares reaction from the community, and the family of the victim.
“I would keep looking it up on my phone to see if they found out anything on what happened with that lady,” said Carlsbad mother Julie Capps.
She knew about Monday’s arrest before NBC 7 could ask.
“My husband saw it on the news and told me about it,” said Capps.
The Carlsbad Police Department arrested the murder suspect, a 17-year-old Carlsbad resident, on a city beach on Monday.
“It’s painful,” said Capps. “It’s painful. I have a son who’s 18 and he might know this boy. We might know this family.”
