A tragic hostage situation at a Trader Joe’s in the Los Angeles suburb of Silver Lake left one employee dead on Saturday. According to CNN, Gene Evin Atkins has been identified as the suspect. 28-year-old Atkins is being held on one count of murder, with more charges to be handed down as the investigation continues. His bail has been set at $2 million. Melyda Eldorado, who worked at the store, was killed in the standoff.

What we know about the victim

Customers ran out of the store when the armed man burst in. Police surrounded the building. During the three-hour standoff, several people walked out of the store with their hands up. Some employees climbed out a back window on a chain ladder.
After talking with hostage negotiators, the suspect handcuffed himself and surrendered, police said.
At a news conference afterward, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said a woman inside the store was killed. He did not identify her or say how she died. The suspect’s arm was injured in an exchange of gunfire with police, Garcetti told reporters after the standoff ended.
The victim’s brother identified her. Eldorado worked at Trader Joe’s for four to five years, Albert Corado said.
“She was the person I loved the most in the world,” Corado said.
Eldorado was a store manager, CNN affiliate KABC reported.
