San Diego police have charged a fourth suspect with murder in the 2011 shooting death of a man in Swan Canyon.
On Friday, detectives brought the new charge against 24-year-old Lamont Holman, of San Diego, who was already in custody for an unrelated incident.
Police say Holman, 25-year-old Dionte Simpson, 28-year-old Jennifer Whitmer and 25-year-old Callie Beasley are responsible for the death of 28-year-old Cordell King.
On April 17, 2011, King was standing near a sidewalk in the 4600 block of Thorn Street when a vehicle with four people inside stopped beside him.
Gunshots erupted from the car, and King was struck several times in the torso.
Police say the driver started to leave the scene but decided to turn back. One of the suspects then got out of the car, fired more shots at King's body and took off.
SDPD officers found King dead at the scene and have been working his case for four years.
