HOMICIDE ARREST: Garden Grove Police Department officers were dispatched on August 8, 2019, at 1:45 p.m., to the intersection of Ninth St. and College St. regarding a witness who saw Jonathan M. Warner walking in the area. The witness had seen news reports identifying Warner as a person of interest.

As officers arrived on scene and attempted to speak with him, Warner assaulted one of the officers and fled on foot. After a brief foot pursuit, he was taken into custody.

Warner was brought to the police department, where he was interviewed by detectives and determined to be the person responsible for the murder. He was later booked into Orange County Jail.

    1. We did not see that referenced by the police department. As the victim was his mother there are probably personal and/or mental health issues involved. Very sad.
