Forensic evidence found at the scene linked the double murder of USC students Ying Wu and Ming Qu to two attempted homicides in Los Angeles, leading to two arrests in the fatal shootings, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said Friday.

Bryan Barnes, 20, of Los Angeles, and Javier Bolden, 19, of Palmdale, are being held without bail in connection with the murders of the electrical engineering students from China, Beck said.

The first arrest went down around 4:30 p.m. Friday in the 1200 block of 91st Street in South LA. The arrest teams then boarded two waiting helicopters, which took them to the 6800 block of Atmore Street in Palmdale.

They have been booked for murder and are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
