Esvin Vasquez, 23, was beaten to death Nov. 13 with a wooden plank, cops said.

The victim was whacked in the head with a board during a brawl with “a large group of males” outside a gas station on Junction Boulevard in Corona around 2 a.m., authorities said. The group fled south on Junction Boulevard. 

Late last month, Michael Santander, 20, was picked up by the Regional Fugitive Task Force and faces the same charges in connection to the deadly assault, cops said. 

He was ordered held without bail during his arraignment, records show.

Vasquez — who lived around the corner from the scene of the clash — was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital but couldn’t be saved.
