The victim later succumbed to his injuries. His name was initially not being released pending notification to next of kin. He has since been identified by the coroner as Tyquan Devone Maurice Rawlins<\/a>, 35, of Long Beach<\/a>. He appears to have a criminal record<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on interviews and evidence located at the scene, Robert Emery, 48, of Huntington Beach, was arrested and transported to the Huntington Beach City Jail and booked on one count of PC 187(a) \u2013 Murder.<\/p>\n

Detectives believe this was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public. The investigation into this homicide is ongoing and no further details will be released at this time.<\/p>\n

First-Degree Murder:\u00a0Punishable by\u00a025 years to life\u00a0in state prison. If \u201cspecial circumstances\u201d (such as a hate crime or lying in wait) are proven, the penalty can increase to\u00a0life without the possibility of parole (LWOP)\u00a0or the death penalty.<\/p>\n
