Double Homicide Witnesses Step Forward, Suspect Composite Released
PASADENA – A “shots fired” call sent Pasadena PD to the 100 Block of W. Claremont Street on January 6th. Laying lifeless at the scene was Antione Sutphen (24), an African-American resident of Pasadena. a second African-American victim, Ormoni Duncan (24, Pasadena), also died of a gunshot wound.
Officers saw suspects driving westbound on W. Claremont Street towards Sunset Avenue and out of view. An investigation was launched.
On March 20th the PD released an update of four murder suspects’ descriptions and a request for assistance:
1. Male Black, dark complexion, approximately 20 to 25 years old, 6’0” to 6’2” tall, and 210 to 220 lbs.
2. Male Black, dark complexion, approximately 25 to 30 years old, 5’10” to 6’0” tall, and 240 to 250 lbs.
3. Male Black, medium complexion, approximately 25 to 30 years old, 5’9” to 5’11” tall, and 210 to 220 lbs.
4. Male Black, light complexion, approximately 25 to 30 years old, 5’11” to 6’01” tall, and 180 to 190 lbs.
The motive remains unconfirmed, yet all information and investigative leads suggest a feud between a local Pasadena gang and a gang from the Duarte area, which had erupted a few months prior to the murders.
Last night, Pasadena PD announced that witnesses have come forward and provided further information, resulting in a composite sketch of one suspect.
Homicide/Assault investigators are asking for information regarding the murder or the composite sketch to contact the Pasadena Police at (626)744-4241 24/7 or Homicide Investigators (626) 744-4511. You may also report information anonymously at lacrimestoppers.gov (insert key word Pasadena).
