Raymond Alcala, a 20-year-old resident of Irvine, California, was shot and killed during a home invasion at his Bayleaf Lane residence in the early morning hours of October 26, 2019. Irvine police and the Orange County Fire Authority responded about 5:45 a.m. after a call about an injured man; officers found Alcala with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; another man in the home was assaulted but survived.
Investigators determined the attack was a targeted robbery. Three suspects were identified and charged: Devon Quinland, 33, of Westminster; Andre Andrews, 34, of Miramar, Florida; and Omar Miller, 41, of Lauderdale, Florida. Miller, described as a former Jamaican police officer, and the others faced felony counts including murder, conspiracy, and assault with a firearm, with special-circumstance allegations tied to robbery and burglary. Arrests were made December 17, 2019, in California and Florida, and the defendants were extradited to Orange County Jail; an arraignment was scheduled for February 28, 2020.
Anyone with information about Raymond, the robbery, or the events at the Bayleaf Lane home is asked to come forward.
