Three suspects were behind bars Tuesday facing murder charges in connection with the killing of a man who was fatally wounded last month by a gunshot into the Oceanside apartment where the victim was staying with friends.

Mason William Brant, 23, and Elijah Gabriel Marrero, 19, both of Vista, and 31-year-old Bryan Lee Teater of Oceanside were arrested Thursday for their alleged roles in the death of 26-year-old Alex Hamilton, police said.

The fatal shot went through a bedroom window at an apartment complex in the 1800 block of College Boulevard at about 1:10 a.m. on June 18 and struck Hamilton in the head, according to Oceanside police.

Several other residents of the apartment ran outside after the shooting and two sought shelter in a bathroom until patrol officers arrived, Oceanside police spokesman Tom Bussey said.

Paramedics took Hamilton to Palomar Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Lt. Bill Weese said.

Police have not released a suspected motive for the shooting, nor have they disclosed which of the suspects fired the fatal shot.

Brant and Teater were already in prison on other charges when they were arrested in connection with Hamilton’s death.



Oceanside police are searching for the person who shot through a bedroom window and killed a 26-year-old man. NBC 7’s Dave Summers reports more on the victim and the leads police have so far.
