Two suspects who remained on the loose in the brutal beating of a 7-Eleven clerk in Torrance are in custody following the capture of their alleged accomplice last week, officials confirmed Wednesday.

Two males were arrested Monday in the Jan. 11 assault that left the store employee in a coma, Torrance police Sgt. Alexander Martinez said. Martinez said officers would have more details on the new arrests Thursday, as detectives were still conducting interviews Wednesday evening.

Last Friday, 19-year-old Jordyn Kolone of Harbor City was identified as a suspect and arrested after investigators released surveillance images from inside the store.

Kolone and one of the men allegedly went into the store, picked up some beer and left without paying. When the clerk followed them outside, he was beaten so severely that his skull was fractured, police say.

It’s believed the third suspect acted as a getaway driver.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the victim was still in a coma, Martinez said.
