Llano, California



From the June 10, 2004 Antelope Valley Press:
LLANO - A trespasser was shot and killed at a private storage facility Tuesday when he was confronted by the property owner, sheriff's officials said.



Enrique Higuera, 33, was reportedly dead at the scene after being shot, and the property owner held a second trespasser at gunpoint as he waited for deputies at the rural site in the 17000 block of Avenue T-8.



Higuera was allegedly armed and brandished his weapon at the property owner in the moments before he was shot, according to L.A. County sheriff's homicide Sgt. Alec MacArthur. The sergeant would not reveal what type of weapon Higuera was allegedly holding, but said the property owner felt he was in danger. Detectives believe the shooting was justifiable and expected to submit their report to the district attorney's office today for a final decision, MacArthur said.
