Two Men Charged with Murder in Fullerton Triple Homicide

FULLERTON, CA — Two men that were arrested in connection with a triple homicide over the weekend have now been charged with murder.

Joshua Charles Acosta of Fort Irwin, Texas, and Frank Sato Felix of Sun Valley, California have been charged with murder, with special circumstance allegations of committing multiple murders on the 400 block of South Gilbert Street.

They are scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon. The allegations make both men eligible for the death penalty, however prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek the ultimate punishment in this case. Acosta and Felix are being held on $1 million bail each.

There is no word as to whether the 17-year-old girl also arrested will be charged with murder.

The Yost's seventeen-year-old daughter was located, unharmed, Fullerton Police said in their report.

Though state law prevents law enforcement from releasing the names of juveniles who have been arrested for crimes, they did state that a 17-year-old female juvenile "has also been detained for the murders and is in custody at the Orange County Juvenile Hall."

Three adults — Jennifer Goodwill Yost, her husband Christopher Yost and Arthur Boucher, a family friend — were discovered in the residence by the Yost's 9-year-old daughter. Another daughter was also at the scene. Both of the girls were unharmed according to reports.

A common link between them: The three arrested and the three they are accused of murdering were all part of the Southern California "furry" community. Facebook posts by the group, which frequently gathers online or at conventions or impromptu meetups to dress up in costume like realistic or cartoon animals. The members of that group have been dealing with the sudden and tragic loss.

The bodies showed obvious signs of trauma according to the Fullerton Police Department.
