Colletta was charged with premeditated murder, being a convicted felon with three priors in possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Jaqueline Arreola, 24, who was at the scene when law enforcement arrived, was arrested as an accessory for the murder of Solis, for allegedly having knowledge of the crime and deliberately concealing it.
Arreola pleaded guilty to accessory in the murder of Solis, but has not yet been sentenced.
Colletta was held in Men’s Central Jail with a $3.1 million bail, while Arreola was in custody at Century Regional Facility in lieu of $2 million bail.
Colletta pled not guilty back in April of this year to the charges of premeditated murder.
