Unified Police have located a third man wanted in connection with the beating death of a Magna man on Monday.
Police said Thursday morning they were looking for 18-year-old Easton Jorge Esparsa, who they believed to have been one of a group of people who allegedly chased and beat Fred Ortiz, 41, to death in a Magna parking lot on Monday afternoon. Later on Thursday, police announced they had found Esparsa and arrested him.
Two other people — an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman — were previously arrested.
