Intruder who stormed $7M mansion in ultra-posh Newport Beach gated community with accomplice who was shot dead by homeowner, is charged with felonies - as it's revealed they had guns, zip ties and rope

The men who stormed into a Newport Beach, California mansion, earlier this week were armed with guns, zip ties and rope.

Andrew Miguel Rosas, 24, from Pomona was one of the duo who managed to break into the gated community in the early hours of Tuesday, allegedly with the intentions of carrying out a robbery.

His accomplice was fatally shot in the head, but both men were wearing dark clothing and masks when they were dropped off at the exclusive $7 million home in what appeared to be a carefully calculated home invasion according to Orange County Superior Court records, as seen by the LA Times.

Rosas was arrested on Tuesday and now faces charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, carrying a loaded firearm in public and conspiring to commit a crime - all felonies.

Investigators continue to remain tight-lipped as they try to piece together the events that unfolded just before 4:45am on Tuesday morning during what cops said was a 'targeted attack' at the two-story mansion on Vista Luci.

By the time police officers were on the scene, Rosas was discovered lying in the street with gunshot wounds, while a handgun was found nearby. 

Located in the Newport Coast neighborhood, the 4,709-square foot home was being rented by a family of rich Chinese nationals, according to DailyMail.com sources with knowledge of the case.

Neighbors said they heard screams at the time the home invasion was taking place in the usually quiet cul-de-sac, which only has 10 other sprawling mansions.

'This is a targeted incident and it was isolated,' Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Oberon told Fox11, adding the family was not necessarily attacked for a robbery. 

Sources with close knowledge of the situation told DailyMail.com the violent incident was in fact a kidnapping attempt. 

This was not the first time an incident has occurred at the Vista Luci home. 

Sources said the same suspects also attempted to accost the residents about 10 days earlier.

Newport Beach Police have declined to comment citing their ongoing investigation.

The man who shot the intruder, along with two women and a child, were evacuated from the home and were not injured, cops said.

'I just want to assure the Newport Beach residents that this is a safe community,' Oberon said. 'We know that there is a relationship between the two suspects and victims/the residents.' 

The owner of the home refused to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com, but sources said the five-bedroom home was rented out regularly.

The renters paid at least $35,000 per month to rent the 4,709-square-foot home, which has breathtaking panoramic views of the California coastline, according to the real estate website Compass.

The luxurious home also features top-of-the line appliances, marble flooring, an outdoor pool and a master suite with an ocean view. 

Although the home is located inside a guard-gated community, the intruders were somehow able to gain access inside, Newport Beach Police said.

The neighborhood boasts multi-million-dollar homes and is located near the 5-star luxury Resort at Pelican Hill.

Cops in tactical gear were seen slowly entering the mansion shortly after the shooting and found a man armed with a handgun lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. 

The body of the second suspect was found in the bushes near the home where he had been found shot in the head. 

Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Division officials have yet to release the name of the man who killed himself as of Friday.

Newport Beach Mayor Will O'Neill said the deadly outcome of the incident should be a warning to criminals.

'I can tell you right now, if you come into Newport Beach to commit a crime, we will defend ourselves, and today is an example of that,' he said.
