SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Three people are in jail for the death of a 51-year-old homeless man near a Santa Cruz park.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel (http://bit.ly/U8b9uz ) says the man was killed Friday night along railroad tracks near Depot Park.
Investigators are withholding the man's name and cause of death. An autopsy is scheduled Monday.
A motive for the killing hasn't been disclosed.
Police arrested 26-year-old Jeremiah James Long shortly after the body was found.
On Saturday, officers arrested 41-year-old Michael Valgene Hudson and 21-year-old Shaelyn Zeanne Gonzales.
Jail records show all three have been booked for investigation of murder, conspiracy and violating probation terms.
Gonzales was also booked for drug possession and battery on a police officer.
