    Man arrested in fatal shooting in Stanton
    • April 8, 2026

    A 43-year-old Fullerton man was behind bars on suspicion of fatally shooting another man in Stanton on Easter Sunday.

    Jeffrey Lynn Clayton was arrested Tuesday night, April 7, on suspicion of killing Anthony Lee Carlos, 37, of Fullerton, sheriff’s Sgt. Gerard McCann said.

    Deputies were called to an alley connecting Main and Pacific streets at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday after Carlos’ body was found.

    As deputies chased down leads they came across an illegal gambling house and detained about 50 people near Cerritos and Flower avenues, McCann added.

    Six people were arrested on outstanding warrants in that area, including Clayton, but it was not immediately clear whether Clayton had any link to the alleged gambling activity, McCann said.

    Investigators believe Carlos and Clayton were acquainted, McCann said.
