Buyer of rifles used in San Bernardino massacre to be charged

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A garage door of Enrique Marquez’s home is seen broken in a Dec. 9 FBI raid in Riverside, Calif.

LOS ANGELES » A former security guard who bought the assault rifles used by his friend in the San Bernardino massacre was expected to be charged as early as today, according to two law enforcement officials.

The federal charges against Enrique Marquez, 24, were not immediately clear. The officials were not authorized to discuss the charges by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Marquez legally purchased the high-powered weapons used by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, to kill 14 people at a holiday gathering of Farook’s health department co-workers on Dec. 2. The couple also injured several others before dying hours later in a shootout with police.

Authorities previously said Marquez legally bought the rifles at least three years ago, but they did not say how Farook and his wife got them.

The FBI says that it is investigating the rampage as an act of terrorism and that the Muslim couple had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013. Farook’s wife declared her allegiance to the Islamic State group in a Facebook posting shortly before the attack, the FBI said.

Investigators also were exploring whether Farook and Marquez aborted plans to launch an attack in 2012. They “were plotting an actual attack” that year, including buying weapons, but became apprehensive and shelved the plan because of arrests in the area, said Idaho Sen. Jim Risch, a Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Marquez had deep ties with Farook that extended to a family connection. The two grew up next door to each other in Riverside and then became related through marriage.

The friends were witnesses at the wedding of Farook’s brother, Raheel, to a Russian woman in 2011, according to Riverside County marriage records. Last year, Marquez married the sister of Raheel Farook’s wife, making Marquez and Raheel Farook brothers-in-law.

Records show that Marquez married Mariya Chernykh at a ceremony at the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco, though the mosque’s facility manager denied it occurred there.

Marquez was said to be a convert to Islam but was not a member of that mosque, Azmi Hasan said. Marquez worshipped there three to four times over seven years, Hasan said.

Right after the shooting, Marquez called his mother to say he was safe but that he wouldn’t be coming home, neighbor Lorena Aguirre said. He later checked into a mental health facility.

Three days after the attack, federal agents raided his mother’s house in Riverside, a city near San Bernardino that is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

Armida Chacon has said her son is a good person who loved to hang out with friends and go to parties, according to The Los Angeles Times.

“I don’t know how this happened. … My world is upside-down,” she said tearfully.

When asked about Syed Farook, she said her son was friends with him and “nothing more.”

Marquez’s friends described him as a friendly, easygoing guy who was not religious and rarely discussed his family or marriage.

Marquez was a licensed security guard for several years, but his license expired at the end of 2014. He was hired to work at Wal-Mart in May but has since been fired, a company spokesman said.

Tucker reported from Washington.

    Right after the shooting, Marquez checked into a mental health facility. Smart move. A shrewd lawyer will get him Social Security disability payments for life for a claimed mental disorder and will get him off without jail time using the alleged mental disorder as a defense.

    THAT PREVIOUS COMMENT IS N OT FUN NY …IT WILL HAPPEN ..POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ..POINT OF LEASE RESISTANCE …ALOHA

  3. islandsun says:

    Marquez knew of the pending violence. Charge him with conspiracy to commit a hate crime. And families that have suffered a loss or injury must file a wrongful death lawsuit against him and any others. But dont just deport him. Make sure you hold him in jail so he doesnt get to Mexico. Make these conspirators pay dearly.

  4. saywhatyouthink says:

    These relatives of Farook and wife should be rounded up and deported back to their country of origin. These people CANNOT be trusted and do not deserve the privilege of US citizenship. Let these ingrates go back to Pakistan or wherever they came from, the country will be safer without them.
