Not yet clear if the named suspect is an illegal immigrant, but given the gang affiliation, it's very likely. More sad news for a family and for no reason...

Police today said they are seeking an 18-year-old man in the fatal shooting of a Polytechnic High School football player.

Authorities identified the suspect as David Aranda Fernandez of North Hollywood. They say he allegedly shot 16-year-old Edward Satterstron of Sun Valley multiple times in the chest Saturday night near a Taco Bell in North Hollywood.


Police said Satterstron ran into the restaurant after he was shot and collapsed.

Witnesses told police Satterstron was walking with a female friend when a man pulled out a handgun and opened fire.

His mother, who asked that her name not be used, told the Contra Costa Times that he was like a father figure for his siblings.

"He was such a good kid," she said. "He took care of his six brothers and sisters like a father. They all adored him and looked up to him so much. He was a parent figure in their lives."

Satterstron wanted to play football for USC after graduation, his girlfriend told the newspaper.

"He wanted to be a Trojan," she said. "His room is covered in USC posters. . . . He wanted to go to school there more than anything."

On May 31, Jesus "Jesse" Florian, 17, of Arleta was fatally shot at a party in Sun Valley. Florian was described as a standout football player at Polytechnic High School.
