Pomona Police Monday announced the arrest of a husband and wife in connection with the murder of a 45-year-old man.
Pomona Police Department officers said they responded about 10:30 p.m. Aug. 28 to reports of a person down in the area of West Holt Avenue and North White Avenue and found Anthony Rivera suffering from a gunshot wound to his head.
Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene and pronounced Rivera dead.
PPD homicide detectives investigated the homicide and identified 30- year-old Matthew Milo as the alleged shooter, with his 41-year-old wife Theresa Flemings allegedly acting as a getaway driver, police said.
A possible motive for the shooting was not immediately available.
Milo and Fleming were arrested Thursday and booked into the Pomona Police Department jail. Milo was being withheld without bail, while Flemings’ bail was set at $2 million.
