An Anaheim teen-ager was killed and his 20-year-old companion injured when they were struck by shots fired from a car. Ruben Suarez, 16, was shot once in the chest and died about an hour after he was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange, said Sgt. Jack Jansen of the Anaheim Police Department. His companion, Martin Viramontes, 20, also of Anaheim, was shot in the finger and was treated and released. Jansen said the drive-by shooting occurred about 1:30 a.m. after Suarez and Viramontes had left a party. Although Jansen would not confirm that the incident was gang-related, he did say that members of the Anaheim police gang detail were working with homicide investigators to determine the gunmen’s identities.
