An 18-year-old Glendale man, whose mother and stepfather are police officers, was being held Thursday on murder and robbery charges with special circumstances, police said.

Joshua Daniel Geier is charged with murder for the June 5 shooting death of psychotherapist Jefferey Green, said Los Angeles police Detective Vic Corella of Northeast Division.

The 48-year-old Green was found lying in the upstairs hallway of his Los Feliz home, Corella said.

Geier could face the death penalty if convicted of all charges, which include special circumstances because of what police said was a car theft.

Geier's mother, Theresa Geier, is a Burbank police officer, and his stepfather, Dan Hulben, is a Glendale police officer, according to police at the two departments. The parents could not be reached for comment.

Investigators found no sign of forced entry at Green's home, but his BMW was missing and turned up three days later in Glendale, police said.

``We do know the suspect took the victim's car,'' said Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Raul Vega of Northeast Division. ``We interviewed witnesses that knew about the vehicle, and those interviews led us to the identity of the suspect and his whereabouts.''

And that led authorities to Texas.

On June 9, Los Angeles police told their counterparts in San Antonio that Geier was at a Greyhound bus station and armed with a 9 mm handgun.

After spotting Geier, police frisked him and found in the waistband of his pants a Glock pistol with one round in the chamber, officials said.

San Antonio police arrested him that day for unlawfully carrying a firearm and he was placed in Bexar County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The next day, Los Angeles police flew to San Antonio and served Geier with an arrest warrant. The 18-year-old waived extradition and returned to Los Angeles on June 13, Corella said.

Geier is being held without bail in the Los Angeles County Men's Central Jail.
