Katrel Lynch and Khary Watson are set to make their first appearance in San Diego Superior Court Friday

anonymous tip 12 years later led to the arrests this week of Katrel Lynch, 32, in Albuquerque, NM and Khary Watson, 31, in El Cajon. Police also anticipate the arrest of an unidentified 36-year-old woman. On Oct. 1, 1994, Lopez and a friend were walking home from a trip to the market when they were confronted by two men, one armed with a gun, who demanded their purses, detectives said.
Lopez ran and one of the robbers caught up with her a short distance away. After a brief struggle, she was shot in the back and died, detectives said. On November 2, 2006, a tipster called San Diego police and provided detailed information on the robbery and the potential identity of the robbers, police said.
The investigation was reopened by cold case investigators, and with the help of the FBI, the tipster's information was corroborated and the evidence was looked over again. The suspects were also interviewed, detectives said.
Lynch, who was arrested Sunday, and Watson, who was arrested Thursday, are set to make their first appearance in San Diego Superior Court Friday

Gustavo Fausto Tellez Jr.

A convicted felon who killed his girlfriend Monday and then turned the gun on himself had been deported to Mexico three times since 2004. Gustavo Fausto Tellez Jr., whose record includes felony assault and spousal abuse, appealed his first deportation order in 2001. He lost the appeal and was deported to Mexico in 2004, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said Tuesday. In February 2005, ICE agents found Tellez in the Ventura County jail serving time for drug possession and resisting arrest, according to officials and court records. He was deported, for the second time, from Los Angeles County Jail. Days after deportation, Tellez was caught trying to cross back into the United States at San Ysidro, south of San Diego, Kice said.
