Stockton police arrested two 28-year-old men on Friday in connection with the death of a missing 74-year-old.

The department said in a Facebook post that Luis Moran “was arrested for homicide” a day after officials served a search warrant for a residence on the 1500 block of South San Joaquin St. Francisco Renteria-Sanchez was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory. They remain in custody in San Joaquin County jail.

The missing man, who has not been identified, had last been seen on Aug. 24.

During the investigation, police spotted his vehicle sitting unoccupied on the same block where they served the search warrant. The missing senior was found dead in what police called an unincorporated area in San Joaquin County.
