2 Men Suspected of Double Homicide at North Hollywood Summer Party Arrested

Two 20-year-old men suspected of the gang-related fatal shooting of two men at a party in North Hollywood in August were arrested today.

Gregory Edmond, of Simi Valley, and Telvin Breaux, of Los Angeles, were arrested after Los Angeles Police Department detectives from the North Hollywood Division served search and arrest warrants in Los Angeles and Simi Valley.

The two suspects were arrested for suspicion of murder and are being held at the Valley Jail Section pending arraignment in Van Nuys Superior Court. Bail  was set at $2 million each, police said.

Police said uninvited gang rivals showed up at a party on Aug. 20 at 8140 Coldwater Canyon Ave., one block north of Strathern Street, and the shooting broke out at 1:35 p.m.

Deon Michael Bastian, 22, of Monrovia, died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Wilson Pierre, 22, of Pasadena, was taken to Kaiser Panorama City Medical Center where he died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

"A Sony High Definition handheld camcorder was removed from the party, which may contain evidence that could be crucial in identifying the suspects responsible for this crime," said Officer Cleon Joseph of the LAPD Media Relations Section .

But police were unable to find the reported camcorder and it was never found, Det. Thomas Townsend of the LAPD told the Ventura County Star. Police have not stated what led them to the suspects.

Patch reporter Anthony Pardines was at the scene of the shooting. Read his story here:

Pardines also later wrote a more personal account of that night for our year-end wrap up of crime stories in 2011. He personally witnessed the lifeless body of Bastian lying in the alley and wrote about the experience:
