Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:12:47 GMT

Almost three months after a dead body was found in a barrel in Malibu Lagoon State Beach, law enforcement officials have announced the arrest of two men who may be linked to the murder. The body of 32-year-old Javonnta Murphy was found on July 31 floating in a 55-gallon drum in shallow waters near the Malibu Lagoon State Beach by a lifeguard investigating the floating barrel. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department began an investigation and found that Murphy’s body had not been in the barrel for long before it was discovered, and that due to high tide, it was possible that the current had carried the barrel into the lagoon from the ocean. Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are continuing to work to find out the identity of the man found dead inside a 55-gallon drum in Malibu Lagoon on July 31, 2023. (KTLA)After LASD continued their investigation, they were able to identify two suspects: Joshua Lee Simmons, 37, and Dennis Vance, 41. They were each arr...
