Six people have been arrested, including two charged with murder, in connection with an illegal cannabis business that killed five people, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.
The business focused on cannabis extraction, and its owners operated a warehouse in Irwindale that exploded in 2023 and a fire at a lab in South El Monte in 2024, Hochman said in a news release.
Yi Luo, 47, of Baldwin Park; Xin Chen, 59 of Rosemead; Guangqi Fu, 35, of Chino; and Quizhuo Liang, 35, of Monterey Park, worked in the warehouse in the 1400 block of Arrow Highway when it exploded on Oct. 9, 2023, killing all four.
That warehouse was being used for honey oil extraction, Hochman said…
