"Howard Wang, 43, faces additional charges in connection with the June 2024 fatal shooting of 41-year-old Chengli Li in San Gabriel, according to prosecutors. Wang allegedly conspired with 33-year-old Demarques James Pearl to plan and carry out the killing, traveling from the Bay Area to Los Angeles County to do so."
"Wang was initially charged in September 2025 with the murders of his wife, Linlin Guo, and her mother, Beimin Cheng, who were found dead inside their family's residence on Kelobra Court in Walnut Creek on Sept. 18, 2025, prosecutors said."
"In addition to the murder charges, prosecutors previously alleged that Wang made criminal threats against his wife in 2024 and prevented her from reporting a crime to law enforcement in 2023."
"The district attorney's office later charged 45-year-old Yan Wang, described as Howard Wang's girlfriend at the time, as an accessory to the murders. Prosecutors allege she helped him avoid arrest, entered the home after the killings to commit theft, and destroyed cellphones to conceal evidence."
Howard Wang, 43, is charged with a third murder related to the June 2024 shooting of Chengli Li in San Gabriel. Prosecutors allege he conspired with Demarques James Pearl to plan the killing. Wang is already facing charges for the 2025 murders of his wife and mother-in-law in Walnut Creek. The cases will be prosecuted together, and if convicted on all charges, Wang could face life in prison without parole. His girlfriend, Yan Wang, is also charged as an accessory in the earlier murders.
