A man accused in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old Huntington Beach woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder nearly five months after her body was discovered in an ice chest, authorities announced Monday.

Anthony Moreno, 38, was already incarcerated in state prison on an unrelated charge by the time he was identified as a suspect in the homicide, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Moreno is suspected of shooting and killing Dawn McEveety at a residence in the 11900 block of 183rd Street in Artesia on Nov. 24, 2015, according to the release.

McEveety’s body was found five days later “entombed in a large container” in the rear cargo of a red 1991 Toyota Celica hatchback, authorities said. The stolen vehicle was parked in an unincorporated part of Whittier.

The L.A. County District Attorney’s Office charged Moreno with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon Monday, four days after the case was submitted to prosecutors, according to the sheriff’s release.

Moreno’s bail has been set at more than $2 million. His arraignment will be held after he is removed from state prison, the Sheriff’s Department said.

Investigators believe there may be additional people who helped dispose of McEveety’s body. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
