Several days ago, we shared the sad story of the murder of a young magician known as "El Magnifco" in what appeared to be an attempted robbery. Adrian Jackson had even made an appearance on the Tonight Show. Today we learn that three people have been charged in the case.

 Adrian Ramos garnered international awards for his skills as a magician and earned the nickname “El Magnifico.” By age 9, he’d been showcased on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and was a featured performer at the renowned Hollywood Magic Castle.

Late Wednesday night, the 19-year-old was walking home from a music class at Fullerton College when he was gunned down in a robbery attempt on a sidewalk a mile from his home, police said.

Three arrests were made in connection with his death: Aquiles Sanchez, 21, Edgar Raul Salgado, 21, and a 15-year-old juvenile were arrested Thursday night on suspicion of murder, said Anaheim police Sgt. Tim Schmidt.
“They took him for his wallet,” Schmidt said.
