SAN DIEGO ? Four Camp Pendleton Marines were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a Navy sailor and the wounding of three other people at a Barrio Logan restaurant Nov. 19, San Diego police said today.

Myron Thomas, 21, and Kevin Moore, Kenneth Hall and Bernard Jones, all 19, were booked into the downtown jail on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, a jail clerk said.

The four were being held today without bail, pending arraignment Wednesday in San Diego Superior Court, the clerk said.

They are suspected of killing Roderick Little, 22, an active-duty sailor who went AWOL in San Diego, authorities said.

He had turned himself into naval authorities shortly before he was killed, medical examiner Investigator Jerry Simmons said.

San Diego police homicide investigators worked with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to solve the case, SDPD homicide Lt. Mike Hurley said.

Witness information led the investigators to Camp Pendleton yesterday, the lieutenant said.

Arrest warrants were issued after investigators interviewed the four Marines, all members of the 1st Marine Division, said Hurley.

Investigators also seized a vehicle they believe was used in the shooting.

The shooting occurred after Navy police broke up an argument in the parking lot of the Club Metro nightclub on the 32nd Street Naval Base, SDPD homicide Lt. Mike Hurley said.

After the altercation, a group of people gathered at a Del Taco restaurant on Main Street, where the shooting took place about 2:30 a.m., Hurley said.

Three men and a woman were hit when shots were fired into a crowd of people, authorities said.

Little was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Two other men and a woman suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the leg, authorities said.
