Pomona man accused of killing father was on probation for elder abuse

By Ruby Gonzales


A Pomona man currently on probation for elder abuse has been arrested on suspicion of killing his father whose body was found after a mobile home fire in Pomona .

The suspect’s mother was injured in the fire in the 1700 block of East Mission Boulevard which happened Tuesday night, according to Aly Mejia, spokeswoman for Pomona police.

Luciano Macias, 44, of Pomona allegedly entered his parents’ home and made threats to kill them, she said. He allegedly then set a fire in the mobile home and left, she said.

Police found him just after 12 a.m. on Wednesday near West Holt Avenue and North White Avenue.

Firefighters who put out the fire in the mobile home discovered the father’s body. The medical examiner’s office has not yet publicly identified him.

Court records show Macias was charged Aug. 21 with misdemeanor cruelty to an elder or dependent adult. The crime happened Aug. 20 and Pomona police arrested him early that morning.

He pleaded no contest on Aug. 22 and was sentenced to three years probation. The court issued a protective order and ordered Macias to stay at least 100 yards away from the victim or victims.

The online court records do not show who the victim or victims were in the elder abuse case.

As of Thursday morning, Macias was being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in lieu of $3.055 million bail. He is scheduled for an arraignment Friday at Pomona Superior Court.
