Suspect in Shooting Death of 17-Year-Old Surrenders : Crime: The man denies involvement in the incident, believed to be gang-related. A second suspect remains at large.

GARDEN GROVE —  The man suspected of shooting 17-year-old Rosendo Ibarra at a pay phone in April walked into the Garden Grove Police station and surrendered Tuesday, but a second suspect is still at large, police said.

Police tried to apprehend Martin Rene Rodriguez, 21, on Monday, but he was not at his parents’ Stanton house when they raided the home. His father, Robert S. Rodriguez, had promised to call police if his son returned.

On Tuesday, Rene Rodriguez walked into the police station at 11:30 a.m. accompanied by his father, his mother and his uncle and denied his involvement in the shooting.

“We had the whole family down here,” Garden Grove Police Detective Mike Handfield said.

Rodriguez was booked in Orange County Jail on suspicion of murder and street terrorism and will be held on $250,000 bail, Handfield said.

Rodriguez called his parents Monday after he heard of the police raid at their house, his father said.

“I told him he should call the police, but he said, ‘No, I want to go there in person,’ ” Robert Rodriguez said. “He said he didn’t do it. That’s why he turned himself in.”

During Monday’s raid in the Stanton neighborhood, police arrested a 15-year-old boy accused of helping plan Ibarra’s attack.

Police on Tuesday were still looking for another suspect, Joseph David Kehler.

Police said Ibarra’s slaying is the latest incident in a three-generation feud between residents of the “Big Stanton” neighborhood, where Rodriguez lives, and the neighborhood where Ibarra lived about a mile away, La Colonia Independencia.

Ibarra, an unemployed construction worker, was shot in the head April 30 at a shopping center about a block from his home, while talking on the telephone to his girlfriend.

Police allege that Ibarra and his killers are gang members. Ibarra’s relatives deny that he belonged to a gang.

Robert Rodriguez said his son denied having any part in the killing and “didn’t even know (police) were looking for him until yesterday.”

“I think it was good that he went to police. They said it was the best thing to do,” Robert Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez’s mother, Angie V. Rodriguez, said she was “scared when the police came in and pointed guns in our faces” during Monday’s raid. She said that’s another reason why he turned himself in. “He said, ‘Mama, I don’t want you hurt,’ ” Angie Rodriguez said.
