ANAHEIM, CA — A man was arrested in Anaheim Tuesday evening on suspicion of murder after a body was found in his house, police said.

The Anaheim Police Department said it arrested Marlon Garcia, 22, on suspicion of murdering his roommate, Santos Castillo, 59. Garcia was booked into the department's jail on $1-million bail.

Police officers were called to a house in the 500 block of North Philadelphia Street after 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday regarding a man violating a court order, Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer said.

Carringer said the man was outside when officers arrived and attempted to flee back into the home through a broken glass window. Officers were able to detain the man, who cut himself during the fleeing attempt, and he was identified as Garcia.

Garcia and Castillo were roommates at the North Philadelphia Street house, Carringer said.

Officers searched the house and found Castillo dead inside, Carringer said. He added Castillo "appeared to have suffered trauma."
