"It eases the pressure that we’re feeling. It’s better they’re off the streets and can’t commit an act like this again. But, it doesn’t bring back my father," Carl Cummings said.
Sunday afternoon, witnesses described a woman in a striped shirt as the getaway driver, police said. Surveillance video captured a slender young man in a ski mask attacking Cummings in the CVS parking lot.
That wasn’t a lot for detectives to go on. The lead detective in this case cast a wide net looking for leads. According to the arrest warrant, that detective noticed their property crimes unit was investigating a series of smash and grab cases where one of the suspects was a woman, Jasmine Munro, who lives within walking distance of that CVS.

They said they began to piece together evidence and a timeline of the events on Sunday.
- 2:17 p.m. – Investigators canvassed the area for surveillance video and discovered the video of a woman in a striped shirt, matching the description of the getaway driver walking out of her of the Park at Highgate Apartments with a man matching the other suspect's description. This was about an hour before the carjacking and murder. Detectives said the couple was captured on other surveillance cameras near the crime scene too.

According to the warrant, detectives started doing surveillance on Munro and White Wednesday. When they took the pair into custody, investigators said White had the AR-15 that he used to kill Cummings in his possession. Deputies said the bullets in that weapon match the bullets found at the crime scenes well as bullets the medical examiner found inside Cummings during his autopsy.
On Thursday afternoon, Munroe and White made their first appearances before a judge. Both are being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.
Court records show Munro has never been arrested in Orange County before. The only thing on White’s record is a red light camera ticket.
