Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Baker said that the two suspects are 19-year-old Javier Bolden and 20-year-old Brian Barnes. Neither of them will be granted bail. That afternoon, Barnes was first arrested near the USC campus. A few hours later, police arrested Bolden in Palmdale (also translated as Palmdale) near Los Angeles.
