The alleged murder happened Sunday at the girlfriend's Winnetka-area home.

Arraignment was rescheduled Friday to Feb. 26 for a man facing capital murder charges for allegedly killing his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend in her Winnetka-area home last weekend.
Brian Anthony Gonzales, also known as Brian Hammons, is charged in the killings of Emily Fox, 22, of Winnetka, and Jerrad Scott, 24, of La Mesa.
The murder charges include the special circumstance allegations of murder during the commission of a kidnapping and multiple murders. Prosecutors will decide later whether to seek the death penalty.

Officers were sent to the 7600 block of Oso Avenue around 4:20 p.m. Sunday in response to a call reporting an assault with a deadly weapon, said LAPD Officer Aareon Jefferson.
Gonzales allegedly confronted the victims in a hallway of the apartment building. Scott tried to escape while Fox dialed 911, but Gonzales chased Scott down, brought him back to the scene at gunpoint and killed both of them, prosecutors allege.
