Suspect in the murder of Jeffrey Tid in Rolling Hills Estates linked to killing in Las Vegas.
Business owner Richard Henry Wall, suspected of organizing the murder of lawyer Jeffrey Tidus in Rolling Hills Estates and the killing of one of his employees during a break-in in Whittier, has been linked to another murder in Las Vegas. Investigators reported this on Monday.
Another suspect
Sheriff's Lieutenant Victor Lewandowski stated that Richard Henry Wall is no longer considered a "person of interest" in the murders and is now a suspect, although he is not believed to be the one who pulled the trigger in the cases in Southern California. "Apparently, all roads lead to Richard Wall," Lewandowski said. Where this road will lead is unknown. Wall disappeared when investigators linked him to the crimes and suggested that he might be hiding in Montenegro, a country on the Adriatic Sea bordering Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, and Albania. Montenegro does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. "If it comes to the point where the assistant prosecutor files charges, then we can consider legal options," Lewandowski said.
Related murders
In July, investigators released Wall's name in connection with the investigation of a shooting that occurred on December 8, 2009, in which Tidus was killed, shot at the doorstep of his home on a dark residential street. Wall, the owner of Welded Fixtures Inc. in Whittier, and his best friend Christopher Gruys were embroiled in a bitter lawsuit with a man who sued them and won millions of dollars. Tidus was the attorney who won the case. Shortly before Tidus was shot, the California Second District Court of Appeal upheld the jury's verdict, which cost Wall about $2.5 million, and confirmed the jury's findings that Wall and his company committed fraud, according to court records.
Disguise and murder of an employee
Detectives became interested in the revelation that one of his employees, Juan Gabriel Ramirez, was shot in his own living room by a man in a black hood on Painter Avenue in Whittier on February 26, 2011. Ramirez had sued Wall in November 2009, accusing him of violating labor codes at the company. The case was dismissed shortly before his murder. "Since then, we haven't heard from him. We are very interested in anything he might have to say about this," Levandowski said.
Connection with Las Vegas
Detectives from Las Vegas have not yet responded to requests for information on Monday, but one of the detectives told the Los Angeles Times that Walla is also suspected in the shooting on May 20, 2008, at the home of David James "DJ" Vargas, located a mile from the Las Vegas Strip. Vargas owed Walla money related to a business deal, Levandowski said. "We believe he is also a suspect in this case. The similar circumstances, as in the two cases in Whittier and Rolling Hills Estates, lead us to believe that he is connected to this," Levandowski said.
Disclosure of crimes
The police report that each of the three victims was shot at close range. Detectives do not believe that Wall fired the weapon that killed the three men. In May, they released a sketch of a man seen in the area where Tidus was murdered, but detectives have not yet identified him or disclosed any information about his role. In May, a man and a woman were arrested, possibly in connection with Ramirez's murder, but they were released. There is a reward of $100,000 for information leading to the conviction of the killers.
