Ramon Escobar, nephew of missing persons Dina and Rogelio Escobar, was arrested in Santa Monica, California, yesterday. Separately, three homeless men were battered with a baseball bat while they slept on the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Sept. 16, authorities said on Tuesday. Two of the Los Angeles victims and the man attacked under the Santa Monica pier died of their injuries. Hayes said Escobar was apparently homeless himself, and robbery appeared to be his motive for the attacks. The two family members, identified by the Los Angeles Times as an aunt and uncle, went missing in late August.
