No, Jerry the post is correct, it is Denver. Not Denker Denver is between Hoover Street and Figueroa. The shooting took place,very close to where he lived. Larry had inoperable Cataracts and could only see the shadows of life. He was a really sweet boy!! Larry walked everywhere! everyone on the streets knew him. I have been knowing him his whole life. His pelvis was crushed last fall after he was hit by an MTA bus, and he had to wear a colas tope bag . Larry always was cheerful, and had a joke to tell you., Again he would never hurt anyone, why someone would hurt him is beyond my wildest Dreams. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

This was just another one of those Sensless Killings.
