A 19-year-old Newhall man who had been arrested on a murder warrant has been released, according to a spokesperson with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau.
Alejandro Trujillo was taken into custody by the LASD Community Partnerships Bureau on Tuesday afternoon in connection with a 2025 Santa Clarita Valley case, according to Shirley Miller, a spokeswoman for the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
On Thursday, Lt. Daniel Vizcarra stated Trujillo was released, and there have been no arrests in connection to the shooting that occurred on Halloween night that left two men dead. No additional information was released.
According to the LASD arrest logs, the 19-year-old had been held in lieu of $ 2 million bail.
Elijah Harts, a 30-year-old Encino man, and 27-year-old Anthony Mora, a Newhall resident, were the two men identified as the victims of the Halloween night shooting in Newhall.
Two male suspects were seen running away from the location in an unknown direction, according to an LASD Nixle alert published hours after the day of the incident.
That case is the only SCV murder case from 2025 for which no suspects have been named by the LASD.
