Two arrested for beating, robbing and dragging man

After he was beaten, kicked and robbed, a black man was killed when he was run over by a pickup truck and dragged face-down underneath it. Police in northern California had two men in custody and were investigating whether race was a factor in the death.

Investigators said the man was attacked in an alley, then run over at least twice early on Saturday. He became caught under the truck and was "dragged for a considerable distance" before the men stopped and abandoned the truck, police reports said.

Aaron Richard Ouelette, 21, and Michael Angelo Sanudo, 20, were each held Monday on US$1 million bond on suspicion of murder, robbery, gang affiliation and parole violation.

Yuba City police described the victim as a black man in his 30s. They did not give his name.

Sutter County District Attorney Carl Adams said he was waiting for investigators' reports before deciding what charges to file in the case.
