A 48-year-old man was found dead inside a Newport Beach apartment last week and police arrested a suspect — believed to be an acquaintance of the victim —  on suspicion of murder Monday, July 29, officials said.

On Friday, July 26, officers responded to a residence on the 1200 block of Park Newport for a wellness check. Police found the victim, Reginald Hidalgo Fils from Newport Beach, dead inside the apartment with physical signs of trauma, police said.

The investigation led to the arrest of 35-year-old Brandon Christian Chanman from Chino Hills, the Newport Beach Police Department said in a statement.

Police said Fils and Chanman were acquaintances. Additional details on their relationship and the death of Fils were not released.
