On Monday around 6:50 a.m., deputies responded to a hotel parking lot located on the 28500 block of Westinghouse Place in Valencia for an “assault with a deadly weapon” call, according to Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The victim, a 36-year-old male, reported that the suspect, a friend of his, pointed a gun at him and made threatening comments that he was “going to kill him,” said Miller.
“The suspect then left the scene in a vehicle,” she added. “That same day around 12:45 p.m., deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Golden Valley Road that matched the description of the suspect’s vehicle.”
The suspect, Kenny Solomon, 34, of Newhall, was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, a felony; criminal threats, a felony; and battery, a misdemeanor, according to Sheriff’s officials.
Solomon was booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and held on $100,500 bail.
