4 Arrested in Teen's Murder

MARTINEZ, Calif. (AP) - Contra Costa County authorities say a 36-year-old Vallejo man and his 18-year-old son are among four people being held in the strangulation death of another teenager.

Timothy Danny Delosreyes Sr. and his son, Timothy Danny Delosreyes Jr. of Crockett , were arrested Saturday for the Dec. 21 death of 18-year-old Eric Bean of Martinez, whose body was found along a remote road near Martinez.

Contra Costa County Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee says the slaying appears to be linked to drugs and weapons.
