Brian Anthony Gonzales, a/k/a Brian Hammond, 24, is suspected of killing Emily Fox, 22, and Jerrad Scott, 24, last Sunday at Fox’s apartment in Winnetka. Fox is from Winnetka and Scott is from La Mesa.

Authorities responded to calls Sunday afternoon, including one from Fox herself, about Gonzales. On arrival, police discovered Fox’s and Scott’s bodies in Fox’s home. Gonzales was later apprehended on a bus.

Gonzales is currently being held without bail as he waits for his arraignment next month.

Being charged with a crime can be and often is a life-altering event. The potential consequences, depending on the crime, can have major implications on one’s current and future liberty. In the case of murder, the punishment in California can sometimes be death.
