A man was shot to death inside a Mission Viejo home and his roommate was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of homicide, March 21, authorities said.

Orange County sheriff’s deputies were called to the 27000 block of Ruisenor in a neighborhood of single-family homes and evacuated the home, sheriff’s officials said.

The victim, identified by officials as Noah Christian Aguilar, 22, of Mission Viejo, was found dead of a gunshot wound inside, sheriff’s spokeswoman Carrie Braun said.

The man who had been detained and later arrested was Aguilar’s roommate, 22-year-old Michael Guy Levy, Braun said.

Video from OC Hawk showed deputies stationed on the street while a man and woman exited the home, with deputies placing at least the man in handcuffs.

The firearm believed to have been used during the shooting was collected at the house, Braun said.

What led up to the shooting was not known. Where the victim was found inside the house was not disclosed.
