Accused shooter in 7-Eleven robberies to be charged with 3 counts of murder

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Two men will be charged in connection to three fatal shootings, gunfire that left others severely injured and various robberies largely targeting 7-Elevens a week ago across Southern California, officials said on Monday, July 18.

Malike Patt, 20 will be charged in Orange County Superior Court for allegedly taking part in a series of July 11 crimes that left two people dead and three others seriously wounded, as well as a homicide in Los Angeles two days earlier.

Jason Payne, 44, will be charged as well, although his alleged role in the two sets of crimes has not been laid out by prosecutors yet.
