LOS ANGELES—A 20-year-old man and a teenager were behind bars Aug. 10 in connection with the fatal shooting of an off-duty Monterey Park police officer during what the district attorney said was an attempted robbery in the parking lot of an LA Fitness gym in Downey.

Carlos Delcid, 20, is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Downey on charges of murder, attempted robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to jail records, he was arrested around 9:30 p.m. Aug. 8, roughly six hours after the shooting that killed Officer Gardiel Solorio, 26, a rookie officer just weeks out of the academy.
