The man arrested for road rage shooting death of 6 yr. old Aiden Leos after a weeks-long manhunt is a 24 yr. old gun-toting auto shop worker. Marcus Anthony Eriz and his girlfriend Wynne Lee, 23, were taken into custody outside their home in Costa Mesa, CA on Sunday in connection to the May 21 shooting. California Highway Patrol said the pair are expected to be charged with murder over the shooting on the 55 Freeway in Orange County. Officials said Eriz was the shooter and Lee was driving the vehicle at the time of Aiden's death. District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Monday afternoon that the driver and the shooter are likely to face different charges. Both the murder weapon and the vehicle they were traveling in have been recovered, he said. They were found at different locations to where the suspects were arrested. Neither Eriz or Lee are believed to have prior felony convictions, according to online records. Eriz appears to be a gun fanatic with his social media filled with photos of him showing off his guns and firing them at shooting ranges. In one photo he displayed two handguns and a rifle. In another photo, he showed off his ammunition.

Gas chamber for this evil lout.
Gas chamber for this evil lout.
May I ask what kind of fool shows off his weaponry on social media? It’s NO ONE’S business what I have, or don’t have, in my possession to protect myself.
He looks a bit crazed.....
Got meth??
A white 2018 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen SE matching the description of the vehicle is registered to Lee’s parents.
This then led law enforcement to Eriz and Lee.
After delving into the couple’s backgrounds, officials were able to find out they commuted along the freeway where the deadly shooting took place.
Spitzer last week urged those responsible to turn themselves in.
‘The longer this goes on... the less sympathy I’ll have. You killed a 6-year-old boy for God’s sake. Come forward. Turn yourself in,’ he tweeted.
He said in Monday’s press conference that those responsible had ignored his request.
‘I called on them to turn themselves in... And they didn’t. So now it is about the system to hold them accountable,’ he said.
Turkish name
I’m wondering his heritage. My husband’s mother’s side was Syrian, his father European. Mike was the most Syrian looking of the cousins, and I do recognize the “look” from a middle-eastern bloodline in the shooter’s facial features.
The GF should have turned herself (& her idiot BF) in. She probably would have gotten a much reduced sentence than she’ll receive now.
You got that right! My guess is when they were asked to do so in the news conferences, that was the hope...she’d be so afraid she’d bend and turn in the BF. Why I believe this statement was given them:
‘The longer this goes on... the less sympathy I’ll have. You killed a 6-year-old boy for God’s sake. Come forward. Turn yourself in,’ he tweeted.’
At one point, he gave them 1 week....and that time passed.
My thought is how do these people sleep at night? According to the story, they aren’t career criminals.
Apparently, the kind that shoots a six year child in a road rage incident.
Those eyes......
No, but arrest records...yes. Many a murderer was never on the radar before they decided to take a life.
Oh, the horror.
His mistake was showing them off.
Never, ever, ever let anyone know what you have.
I know right? Scary. Notice he shaved his beard? They had no desire to turn themselves in whatsoever.
“Never, ever, ever let anyone know what you have.”
AMEN! My answer is always something like, “I can take care of myself”, and leave it at that.
