Investigators haven’t released many details surrounding Al-Ogaidi’s death, but said his body was found following an investigation which began on Saturday evening, when officers were called to a home in Monterey Park for a check on welfare.
The caller told police they heard what sounded like a gunshot at a home in the 0-100 block of San Diego Way N.E. and were concerned for the people living there. Initially, police weren’t able to find anything unusual at the house, which investigators described as empty and dark.
Police have charged Ahmed Abid, 24, Mohammed Khalil, 28, and Ashraf Jasem Ajil, 23, with accessory after the fact to murder.
