Overview
- LASD identified the suspects as 27-year-olds Samson Nacua and Trey Rose, who were booked on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
- Deputies say the SUV was located at the One Hotel in West Hollywood after the men valeted the vehicle and entered the property.
- Security footage from the hotel was used to identify the pair before they were taken into custody, according to NBC4’s reporting of LASD statements.
- Authorities have not established where or when the vehicle was initially taken, and both suspects remain jailed as the investigation continues.
- No public statements from the suspects or the Nacua family have been reported, and it is unclear whether either man has retained legal counsel.
- Nacua, the older brother of Rams receiver Puka Nacua, played at BYU, had offseason stints with the Colts and Saints, and most recently played for the UFL’s Michigan Panthers, where he was suspended earlier this year for slapping a fan.
