SkyFOX video from the standoff in Alhambra showed Zapata wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap, exiting the house and walking slowly toward the heavily armed officers, who spoke to him briefly then handcuffed him and took him into custody. Police said Zapata had "mental health prior incidents," but did not elaborate. He previously had 7 misdemeanor arrests and had no felony arrests or convictions, authorities said.
Zapata is also wanted for the attempted murder of 33-year-old Daniel Villalobos, who police said was stabbed by Zapata just hours later about half-a-mile-away from where Chavarin was killed. According to police, Villalobos was standing outside Valley Food and Liquor when he was stabbed in the unprovoked attack. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of multiple stab wounds and is recovering.
