July 30 -- Police
recovered evidence and arrested
a second suspect Friday in a
shooting last month that injured
four partygoers outside a house
in an upscale Santa Monica neighborhood.
Morgan Neidlinger, a 20-year-old
resident of Pacific Palisades,
was arrested at a Hollywood
residence early Friday morning
and charged with four counts
of attempted murder and assault
with a deadly weapon, according
to police.
Neidlinger was transported
to the Santa Monica jail and
his bail was set at $2 million,
said Lt. Alex Padilla, the Police
Department spokesman.

Police also served search warrants
that three Westside residences,
where they recovered several
handguns, magazine clips and
ammunition that may be connected
to the July 15 shooting on the
400 block of 11th Street, Padilla
said.
The warrants were served at
5:30 a.m. Friday in Pacific
Palisades at residences located
in the 17000 block of Posetano
Road and in the 17000 block
of Porto Marina Way, police
said. A third search warrant
was served in the 900 block
of 6th Street in Santa Monica.
Neidlinger is the second suspect
arrested after a man opened
fire during an argument between
partgoers outside the upscale
house in one of Santa Monica’s
most exclusive neighborhoods,
according to police.
Shortly after the incident,
Justus Sackett-Michel, a 21-year-old
resident of Los Angeles, turned
himself in at the police department,
where he was arrested and booked
for conspiracy and attempted
murder.
Detectives identified Sackett-Michel
as a suspect after interviewing
the witnesses and victims.
The four shooting victims were
taken to local hospitals and
treated for minor injuries.
The investigation is ongoing,
and police are seeking at least
one other suspect, Padilla said.
Anyone with additional information
