A woman arrested in a series of robberies was charged today with two counts of murder, including one for the shotgun slaying of an MTV music coordinator in the Mid-Wilshire area.
Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck said he also anticipated murder charges being filed against the two men also arrested in the crimes.
Destiny Young, 29, was charged with two counts of murder and six counts of second-degree robbery, with special circumstances of murder during a robbery and multiple murders that potentially make her eligible for the death penalty.
Jabaar Vincent Thomas, 26, was charged with three counts of second- degree robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a handgun.
Richard Edward Anderson Jr., 33, was charged with six counts of second- degree robbery.
The trio were in court Friday, but their arraignments were put off until June 2.
Beck said all three were suspected in the roughly 1:30 a.m. Sunday killing of Gabriel Aron Ben-Meir, 30, and the April 30 killing of Marcelo Aragon, 35.
"Between April 29th and May 11th, these three individuals, armed with a shotgun, committed a series of 10 robberies and two homicides in the Mid- City, Koreatown, Pico-Union and Southwest area of Los Angeles," Beck said.
On Wednesday, police stopped a car believed to have been used in at least some of the robberies and arrested Thomas and Young.
