LLANO, Calif. (KABC) -- A 29-year-old Llano man is in custody, charged with killing a Caltech astrophysicist Monday after carjacking his own relative and burglarizing a home.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives say 67-year-old Carl Grillmair was found shot to death on the porch of his home in rural Llano.

Deputies had arrested Freddy Snyder later in the day for carjacking and soon linked him to Grillmair's shooting.

A motive for the shooting has not been released, and detectives don't believe the two men knew each other.
