TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Six suspects, including three teenagers, have been arrested after a man was killed at a Halloween party in Tulare County last month.

During the SWAT operation on Friday, 22-year-old Matthew Makert, 20-year-old *Landon Woods and 18-year-old Eric Bullard were detained.

Two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old were also arrested.

Authorities say they were all arrested on murder charges.

On Oct. 27, deputies found 25-year-old Angel Puga injured on Road 166 near Avenue 168.

The sheriff’s office said a group of people beat and shot him as he was leaving a Halloween party.

An autopsy determined that Puga died of blunt force trauma, not a gunshot wound.

Authorities say all six suspects are gang members.
