According to a press release, the arrest occurred on August 16 at the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department Jail in Salinas.

Angel was shot in the chest the night of July 28 and is currently recovering from his once life threatening injuries. Aviles is a King City resident and suspected of participation in a criminal street gang from the King City area.
