Marvin knew you better than you know yourself? RU sure he was 13?
In the trenches, thats an incorrect statement. The police will release the names and photo's of minors when its in the interest in the public. And considering the magnitude of this crime, it is in the interest of the public to see whom the defendents are.
not a fan of cops, many times when a person is on drugs, they lose the ability to feel pain and they can do some pretty weird stuff while being shot or subdued.
The police did the right thing in this incident, and for you to invoke "hollywood" fantasy's, is quite rediculous.
My brother name is joaquin navarro 20 years old murder in oct,7 2009 block blythe st aroud 3:09 pm anyone with information about is murder or anything they know about what happen please contact the mission hills police station
To not a fan,
I have so much to write. I had this whole response ready for you and then it hit me. I no longer wanted to carry on a converstaion with someone who thinks that in a fight for life either yours or someone eles and trying to avoid getting hit by a bullet that one would still be able to HIT a none leathal part of the body! This man made a decision and paid the price for that decision!! I am glad that YOU will never have to make a decision to stop someone from shooting randomly in my direction by taking the time to aim at a "non" vital organ and/or stopping this maniac as fast as possible before he takes an innocent life. He wasn't just shooting at the cops that day but shooting aimlessly and he could have hit anything or anyone.
I too lost a son about two years ago circumstances close to yours. My son was an innocent bystander at a ice cream truck. I do believe that kids/children can be taken away from us and that there is no reason that can justify that. However, when we allow our kids to do the kind of stuff that this kid was on the path to doing that's when we have to stop and make someone responsible. No none of us know the circumstances of this mother or what she has gone through but we do know that she allow her child out of the house after he was basically thrown out of school! This young man was on PROBATION and had a PUBLIC DEFENDER this was not some innocent just walking down the street. Like it or not this kid made decisions and did things that in the end just might have cost him is life and for that someone will always be sad.
AS for Tabernay Simon, you are just a child too young to know any better HOWEVER, if your mother is allowing you to "date" and hand out with someone who is on probation and must have the use of a public defender at 13!! I can't even begin to imagin what path you are on right now. I hope this death teaches you something and that you turn your life around before you too are headed down a path that you can't turn back from. Even at 12, 13 or 14 years old you can still be held responsible for certain actions the best part of right now is you still have time to change.
I wanted to respond to "in the trenches" comment stating that he/she had never seen pictures of a juvenile crime suspect before and asking if The Times only published them if those charged were black. When someone under the age of 18 is charged as an adult, then the rules for coverage of adults apply. This is not a new phenomenon or a new policy. For example, when Brandon McInerney, then 14, was charged with the murder of his 15-year old classmate Lawrence King in Ventura County, The Times published a photo of Brandon.
This the first time i've seen the media show the photos of minors suspected of killing someone, when did they start this? rules change when it comes to black people.
Many ask: When will the violence stop? When we start taking back our communites, When we start showing interest in the lives of our youth, When we come together as a village and provide constructive activites for idle minds, When we stop being scared that our children will call the police if and when we discipline them.
As parents we have to be HELD reponsible for OUR children's actions.
Yeah my children watch tv and play video games, but I also SPEND TIME WITH MY CHILDREN AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT LIFE!
YOUNG JERRY LOOKS MY GRANDSON, AND MY FEAR IS THE SAME AS HIS. MOST TEENS TODAY HAVE A FEAR OF DYING YET THEY ARE WITHOUT ANY DEFENSE AGAINST SOMEONE WALIKING UP TO THEM, MAKING A DECIOSN TO END THEIR LIFE, JUST LIKE THAT! I OFTEN WONDER WILL IT BE MY FAMILY NEXT, BECAUSE I HAVE EIGHT GRANKIDS OF MY OWN, THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE FAMILY AFFECTED, ITS A CONCERN WE SHOULD TAKE PART IN WORKING TOWARDS VIABLE SOLUTIONS. WE ARE OBLIGATED AS MEMBERS OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE TO EDUCATE OUR YOUTH, MENTOR AND PROVIDE SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THEM TO BECOME INDEPENDLY EMPOWERED. I WILL BE CONDUCTING COMMUNITY FORUM FOR MY STUDEY ALONG WITH ANY WILL PARTICIPANTS IN PROVIDING THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO ADVOCATE FOR A DECLINING GENERATION OF YOUTHS. ITS UNTHINKABLE THAT THESE YOUNGSTERS ARE CONSTANTLY PLACED HERE, AND THERE WITH NO ABILITIES AND COPING SKILLS TO LIFE. IF WE ARE STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES, BY DOING IT OURSELVES, STOP WAITING ON GOVERMENTS AGENCIES TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN, WE ARE JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE OPPRESSOR THEMSELVES. I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERYONE WHO HAS SOME SUPPORT TO PROVIDE, TO PLEASE CONTACT ME, AND LETS BEGIN A CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND SOLUTIONS.
i JUST READ THIS BRIEF SUMMARY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO INTERVIEW ANYONE THAT CAN SUPPORT MY BELIEF OF A CONTINUAL PANDEMIC OF GANG RELATED KILLINGS WITH OUR YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITIES. I AM A GRAD STUDENT AT SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE IN INGLEWOOD, AND I'M DOING MY STUDY ON IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE POST PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS, AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES ON BOTH SIDES BASICALLY. I'M IN MY FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT, SO BY THE END OF MY PROJECT, IT WILL PROBALY BECONE MORE PRECISE. aNYWAY I'M INTERESTED IN ANY PERSPECTIVES TO THIS CONTINUOUS TRAGEDY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITIES, CAN YOU HELP ME?
Tabernay Simon, The deceased is 13 years old. You claim to be his girlfriend, and I am wondering just how old are you.
As for the negative comments about the mother, I dont think they are appropriate. But I do sense that a growing number of people are just fed up with people who have children whom they cannot support on their own. I do not know her economic circumstances, therefore I will not pass judgement.
But I will say that poverty is a breeding ground for crime. And [a] single mother with lots of kids is most probably on welfare. Those are facts and cannot be denied. The mother of the deceased might have been a good mother. But wont it be interesting to know the family situation of the murderer if hes ever caught.
To 'Not a fan of cops'...If a police officer makes the decision that lethal force is necessary to stop a threat, then he/she needs to stop the threat as quickly as possible. Shooting somebody in the shoulder or hip might not immediately stop the person from doing whatever they were doing. Wounds to non vital organs don't always stop a motivated criminal. If this kid grabbed an officer's gun and was firing off rounds, the second officer would want to immediately stop him from doing that, and would need to instantly incapacitate the suspect. Sounds like a head shot was the right decision. I'm sure if your life or the life of a loved one was threatened, you would want the threat ended immediately, and not want the officer to gamble that a shot to the leg or arm would be sufficient.

oops and for the record for those who says that having a lots of kids is a big no no i forgot to mention that i am a mother of seven wonderful children who i raised myself and doing great so to all of you dumb a$$ people who have anything to say about this mom having all these kids ask her how she is raising them and if she gets any kind of assistance i bet you dont write her a check out of your bank account do you i have a job and i have been on my same job for twenty two years now how do you like me now so i wonder did i ask those a$$ holes to come murder my son and i have one son with autism i wonder will i be blamed for that ignorance comes big time here and it is sad because it all looks the same WOW find out the facts before you blame this mom nobody knows what type of punishment she dished out to her son for his actions that day from being out of school you will be judged one day and you might not like what you hear.
i want to say what happens when u raise your kids right in a gang infested area and they turn out to be good citizens and by no means anyone is perfect i have kids and we have a good relationship and it starts at home i took responsibility for my kids involved in school and the whole nine my son was active in his church with the youth ministry his grandfather was the pastor baptizing the people on the bet show baldwin hills he had good role models in his life and wow look what happen to him right across the street where i live shot by two grown men gang members now tell me where in the heck did i go wrong at i cant see it people when your child is murdered it is painful right down to your very soul i raised my son all his life surrounded him with love and positive people only foolish people have negative things to say you have not walked in those shoes i would not wish this kind of hurt on my worst enemy stop blaming this mom nobody knows her circumstances it makes me angry how people can judge by what they read on here and claim they know the problem sad thing is that none of you people will ever understand and she will be judged by what little is known about her personally mom if you are reading this i wont judge you and please dont pay attention to any negative comments on here they are worthless and cant change what has happened to your son he might of been going a little stray but he had time to grow and change a maybe turn out to be the best son you could ever have had he is watching over you and the rest of your family now be at peace and think about all the good times you had with him and in time you will feel a little better it does not go away but at least you will be at peace it seems like yesterday to me i still live in the same place where my son was murdered and the reason i wont move is because i have this thing that i say it was not where i lived it was the people they were caught hours after killing my son after a high speed chase and a police lockdown of the surrounding area because of people who was not scared to get the license plate and call 911 after witnessing this in broad daylight and being angry that these fools thought they were going to get away with such a cowardly act god bless them had it not been for them my son would not be their only victim that day and and after a trial this is not the first murder they have done be it justifiable are not take a life stay for life and thats where they will be so to you mom i dont know you but i know the feeling and it is not a good one at all stay strong and do all you can to make sure the police continue to look for your son's killer are killers god bless you and your family stay prayed up thats all you can do.
To whom ever is from oceanview and wrote that message, you are very wrong for stating " he should know better"" put your self in his shoe if you would seen someone who you know and she's about to get hit by someone who's stronger then her. wouldn't you get involve or you would just be a wimp and just watch. at least this nice young man did something to stop it. It wasn't his time but at least he tried to do something to stop and for the party to continue. it was wrong and immatured the way the other people took care of it. using guns. you are very wrong for saying he shouldn't get involve.. I will curse you for that and I will read my cards to know who you are.. and will give you karma..
gavacholoko if you had the common sense to know what you're talking about before you speak you would know that gangs are an American export. every gang you've heard of was born in good old US of A what good would a immigration sweep do? As for Garcia, some of us have been here since before California was accepted into the Union. Although some of our people do end up in poor desperate situations that doesn't mean our ethnic group is as a whole thus it shuldn't be a reason to be shameful of ones background. Every race has issues, violence and ignorance does not have a color.
okay, my point: If I seriously SERIOUSLY had to shoot someone to defend myself or anyone (and they had their gun pointed at me) I wouldn't aim at the face.... or heart. All that cop had to do was point at something other than a vital region. It takes just as long to point at the face as it does to point at the hip, or shoulder, or arm. Where you chose to point is the question. Mr. Rahman (may you rest in peace) was a troubled kid, and he fled the police because he didn't want to go to jail. To "Jet": If you pick up a gun and shoot, you will get shot at. I agree! But you shouldn't get KILLED!!!!!!! To: Are You Kidding Me: Thanks for your sarcasm.. I didn't say I wanted the cops to just stand there. I mean to say that I would have wished that the cops used the same split second they used to kill him to shoot him somewhere that wouldn't immediately end his life.
eric acosta nor the man who survived the "attack" were not the victims, they were the attackers. please investigate more befor posting. This case still has alot to come out.
Dalton made a series of poor decisions that passed through San Clemente, Newport Beach (where he was preparing to rob somebody at gunpoint when police arrived), and finally Los Angeles. He told his girlfriend he would rather die than get arrested by the police...your wish is granted.
To Raul:
I'm A 17 Female, and I'm glad that I have kept a straight line up to now, I was close to the victim and I also went to Birmingham. My mother has taught me morals and respect. In this case a mother always knows what there son or daughter can be capable of. Mothers knows there child. If you for example are a father... Wouldn't you notice when you son/ daughter changes there attitude, or acts differently, shouldn't the you get the parent instinct that something is wrong? That maybe there into some kind of trouble? What happen to disciplining your children? Kids now-a-days, feel like there parent's don't give them sufficient time and attention. From a kids point of view, I really believe that parents should spend time with there children and find activities to keep children busy and away from drugs and alcohol. My mother personally got me involved me into soccer. I mean it's easy, pay attention to your child behaviors, and keep them busy and sit down have a talk with them. I Guarantee you that you will notice if your child acts weird...

Did I miss something? A convict with a gun out in public? Runs, pulls the gun from his waist and points it at the officers. I hope the officers read this too thank goodness you both went home safe! Thank you for doing a thankless job. If I missed something please feel free to point it out to me.
i loved him he was my step uncle he was very nice he left two kids behind and a big family to but the lapd did not are about that they only care about them selves and i hope police see this to .
LOS ANGELES – An 18-year-old Avenues gang member was sentenced today to 82 years to life in prison for fatally shooting a 14-year-old girl and attempting to kill a second victim.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Lomeli imposed the sentence.
Edmundo Ruiz was convicted Sept. 14 of the first-degree murder of Cynthia Perez and the willful, deliberate, premeditated attempted murder of a male victim. Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee of the Hardcore Gang Division prosecuted the case.
The defendant, who was 16 at the time of the incident, was walking up and down a sidewalk at the intersection of York Boulevard and Avenue 64 in Highland Park.
As he paced, Ruiz stopped to stare at the male victim who was sitting in his vehicle. When the victim looked back at him, Ruiz walked across several lanes of traffic, approached the man’s vehicle and shot multiple times.
One of the rounds missed its intended target and struck Perez who was seated in the passenger seat of an adjacent car. The bullet struck the girl above her left eye.
Jimmy, if only U knew how much we all miss U everyday,morning N night. We Love soo much. I hope we get some justice.. something so I could tell our son when he grows up. I know nobody cares bUt Us..but why did this have to happen to U. I will never understand. We were a family, things will not ever b the same without U. R.I.P baby!
I feel sorry for all involved in these slayings. Choices are made every day that lead people into these situations. Make the right choices, people.
Hey 107, if you are in a good school and going to be a lawyer maybe along the way you can learn about punctuation and basic grammer skills. You'll have a hard time with the BAR with language abuse like that. You ain't as 'quick' as you think.
to 107STREET i know you are lying about what you say! first of all the 107 hoover gang is not on 107 & Hoover (that's Denver lane hood)it's on 107 & Budlong stupid. it's people like you that keeps bullshit going
A lot needs to be done about these gangs in California. In some areas you don't have a choice but to join the gang or you will be targeted and killed. Most of these young teens join these gangs so they can be protected and survive. If you don't live in these areas you could never understand the pressure and strength these gagns have on these neighborhoods. There is no excuse for their actions but there is a big problem here that led up to this that needs to be handled. More innocent people are going to continue to die as long as nothing is being done about these gangs.
Hi from Italy, this piece of news landed here, it is tragic and incredible at the same time. We realize you have a war over there, a war that makes no sense because it sounds like it's based on one's looks - we read of stuff like this going on between tribes in the most remote and rural areas of the world, we would never expect to see the same going on in our front yards. That said, the tragedy within the tragedy is reading some of the comments above. We have a similar situation in my Country. If someone gets randomly killed where I live, the fact would stick on the newspaper's front pages for months, the killers would be hunted down even if they escaped to Tibet and endless TV debates would follow. If someone gets killed in the south of Italy, no one would care. It's mafia down there, so, in some way, the victim must have been killed for some good reason. If you are unlucky enough to be born or live in a certain place, then you are automatically guilty
anything happens. To the Family I can only say you have all our sympathy and we hope this tragedy would at least yield a change for the better by drawing the type of attention it deserves.
wow.fools on here getting their low key bang on.thats so lame,u gotta be a mark,yep a hook ass n@#$&.anyway its sad that we have to keep burying young males.heres two more families that are suffering.too many daddys dead or in jail,man aint no future in that life only a dead end.if you are still bangin and got kids,damn u dumb.u should want better for them,i dont want mine to go through half the junk i went through coming up.charish your life so your child will have a chance to cherish theirs,GOD BLESS>>>>
It's been 2yrs to the date..I still can not believe you're gone. You never think this kind of violence would hit home, there's nothing that can stop me from breaking down when I think of you Rob. I know you were a great man and it is bittersweet that the coward that took your life is facing trail tomorrow. Just like Mathew...I will keep your name ALIVE til the day I Die! I Love you cousin..everytime I see Aunt Pat..I see you!
HEY UNK, THIS IS YOUR NIECE AGAIN JUST SITTIN HERE THINKIN ABOUT YOU STILL MISSING YOU.. ITS ALMOST THANKSGIVING NOW BUT WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK TODAY WE WERE ABLE TOO FIND A OLD DVD FROM 2003 AT MY MOM'S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY IT WAS SUCH AS NICE FEELING SEEING YOU SO HAPPY I JUST WISH YOU WERE HERE..THANKGIVING JUST WON'T BE SAME WITHOUT YOU LIKE I PROMISED I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MY COUSIN'S NEKA YOUR BABY GIRL IS STILL BASKETBALL BALLIN LUV YOU UNK....
man ihatenetbanger wrote:"why dont you do us a favor and stop hiding so you can meet your demise" what do you mean by demise? death? and you feel sorry for my mother?? how kind of you..anyways stick and stones can hurt but word will never hurt me. now back to me the important one. First of all even if i was a gang banger i would still out smort all of these bloggers . second of all that are is filled with low like nap crip members who rob and steal from there own neighborhood and this guy was a nap crip ( the article states this Fact NOT the fairy god mother) so save me the sorry he was going to school (at 1 in the morning) cript Please.I am not saying he deserved to die but he choose a dangerous path in this short world and he got grooved....ps 107vershard is finally gone..ps he died a NAP crip
why would i be a gang banger for?? so i can be slow like some people on here? any ways i am actually 20 years old and no i am not a computer nerd. I am actually in school (no its not a community college either) and plan on becoming a lawyer. also am not a gang member nor do i claim to be but this article claiming the 107hoover did this is shocking. i was shocked because there was no detail or anything.Some might say i tend to lean on the West Side hoover criminal gang but that's not true. I do live on 107 and hoover street in this gang so called turf (its the tax payers turf not street criminals) but do not associate with them (at least the ones not related by blood)...pa 107vershard is out and stay safe everyone..oh am 20 years old
and um, hey kelly, when your son or daughter gets hit by a car, shot, or anything right in front of you, i'll be the first to say the exact same thing to you right in your face. his mother is a kind loving woman that only wanted the best for her sons. but while he was young, both of his parents were working long hours. today, his younger brother fabian is at a private school playing football with a 4.0 GPA and his youngest brother hugo is not that far behind. you people cannot say he influenced little kids into becoming gang members. when he was the one pushing his own sibblings to do good. he would tell me. "stay away from drugs; keep going to school; get good grades because you don't want to end up like me." he wanted what was best for everyone else and saw it was already too late for himself. he was working and going to church. your taxes never supported him and he wasn't on welfare, he was becoming a good member of todays society. you people didnt know him or my family. in fact he was shirtless because he was going to go to work at 9:00 AM. when the police got there aroung 8:00. plus that's not even LAPD jurisdiction. wtf were they doing there? sherrifs deputies should have been present. but you stupid bald headed white people on steroids feel you have the right to even go on his property without a warrant?? are heartless enough to be joking around when a 20 year old youth was just killed by one of your trigger happy partners? you LAPD are no better than the gangs themselves. i have seen police officers go up to prostitutes and tell them to give them dome or they'll arrest them. you guys think youre high and mighty when youre taking bribes from the kind of people you should arrest?? you guys are jokes, just another idiot with a gun and piece of flashy metal. so to all the LAPD, you guys can chop me up and go kiss your wife with the same mouth, make her taste what you had in there 20 minutes before because you people will get yours.
NOT SURE WHY I GOOGLED YOUR NAME COUSIN, BUT I WAS JUST HERE THINKING ABOUT YOU & I KNEW YOU WOULD BE SOMEONE REMEMBERED. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. THOSE TINY EYES WITH THAT BIG OLE' SMILE. YOU ARE VERY MISSED COUSIN, JUST READING EVERYTHING PEOPLE WROTE ABOUT YOU BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. IT'S A TRIP COUSIN, YOU'RE SO LOVED THAT EVEN IN THE FEDS, PEOPLE BRING UR NAME UP. MY HUSBAND JUAN HAS MET A FEW PEOPLE IN THERE THAT KNEW YOU AND THEY ALL HAD LOVE & RESPECT FOR YOU. I CAN CLEARLY SEE WHY, YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND. YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS & SISTER, WE GREW UP TOGETHER, JUST THE FEW OF US. WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH AS KIDS, BUT WE HAD EACH OTHER. I HAVE ALL KINDS OF MEMORIES OF YOU AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. ME SALUDAS A MI GRANDMA AND GRANDPA, I KNOW YOU'RE UP THERE WITH THEM GIVING THEM HELL, LOL. LOVE YOU!!
107street is not a gang member, even though he/she may know a little of the slang, may live in some hood familiar with the drama, not black, 15 years old or so, some computer geek playing the dozens is all it is, don't pay it too much mind.
Some people like to drink, this fool tries to get under peoples skin.

I can't even begin to imagin what path you are on right now. I hope this death teaches you something and that you turn your life around before you too are headed down a path that you can't turn back from. Even at 12, 13 or 14 years old you can still be held responsible for certain actions the best part of right now is you still have time to change.

IF WE ARE STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES, BY DOING IT OURSELVES, STOP WAITING ON GOVERMENTS AGENCIES TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN, WE ARE JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE OPPRESSOR THEMSELVES. I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERYONE WHO HAS SOME SUPPORT TO PROVIDE, TO PLEASE CONTACT ME, AND LETS BEGIN A CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND SOLUTIONS.

Tabernay Simon, The deceased is 13 years old. You claim to be his girlfriend, and I am wondering just how old are you.
As for the negative comments about the mother, I dont think they are appropriate. But I do sense that a growing number of people are just fed up with people who have children whom they cannot support on their own. I do not know her economic circumstances, therefore I will not pass judgement.
But I will say that poverty is a breeding ground for crime. And [a] single mother with lots of kids is most probably on welfare. Those are facts and cannot be denied. The mother of the deceased might have been a good mother. But wont it be interesting to know the family situation of the murderer if hes ever caught.

To 'Not a fan of cops'...If a police officer makes the decision that lethal force is necessary to stop a threat, then he/she needs to stop the threat as quickly as possible. Shooting somebody in the shoulder or hip might not immediately stop the person from doing whatever they were doing. Wounds to non vital organs don't always stop a motivated criminal. If this kid grabbed an officer's gun and was firing off rounds, the second officer would want to immediately stop him from doing that, and would need to instantly incapacitate the suspect. Sounds like a head shot was the right decision. I'm sure if your life or the life of a loved one was threatened, you would want the threat ended immediately, and not want the officer to gamble that a shot to the leg or arm would be sufficient.

To whom ever is from oceanview and wrote that message, you are very wrong for stating " he should know better"" put your self in his shoe if you would seen someone who you know and she's about to get hit by someone who's stronger then her. wouldn't you get involve or you would just be a wimp and just watch. at least this nice young man did something to stop it. It wasn't his time but at least he tried to do something to stop and for the party to continue. it was wrong and immatured the way the other people took care of it. using guns. you are very wrong for saying he shouldn't get involve.. I will curse you for that and I will read my cards to know who you are.. and will give you karma..

gavacholoko if you had the common sense to know what you're talking about before you speak you would know that gangs are an American export. every gang you've heard of was born in good old US of A what good would a immigration sweep do? As for Garcia, some of us have been here since before California was accepted into the Union. Although some of our people do end up in poor desperate situations that doesn't mean our ethnic group is as a whole thus it shuldn't be a reason to be shameful of ones background. Every race has issues, violence and ignorance does not have a color.

crys, how do you know about this? Have you reported what you know to the police? Lets hear the story.
Posted by: syscom3 on Highland Park: Eric Acosta, 36 | Nov 20, 2009 8:41:25 PM
okay, my point: If I seriously SERIOUSLY had to shoot someone to defend myself or anyone (and they had their gun pointed at me) I wouldn't aim at the face.... or heart. All that cop had to do was point at something other than a vital region. It takes just as long to point at the face as it does to point at the hip, or shoulder, or arm. Where you chose to point is the question. Mr. Rahman (may you rest in peace) was a troubled kid, and he fled the police because he didn't want to go to jail. To "Jet": If you pick up a gun and shoot, you will get shot at. I agree! But you shouldn't get KILLED!!!!!!! To: Are You Kidding Me: Thanks for your sarcasm.. I didn't say I wanted the cops to just stand there. I mean to say that I would have wished that the cops used the same split second they used to kill him to shoot him somewhere that wouldn't immediately end his life.

If the police need to be selfish by stopping dangerous people from commiting dangerous acts, then so be it.

Dalton made a series of poor decisions that passed through San Clemente, Newport Beach (where he was preparing to rob somebody at gunpoint when police arrived), and finally Los Angeles. He told his girlfriend he would rather die than get arrested by the police...your wish is granted.

To Raul:
I'm A 17 Female, and I'm glad that I have kept a straight line up to now, I was close to the victim and I also went to Birmingham. My mother has taught me morals and respect. In this case a mother always knows what there son or daughter can be capable of. Mothers knows there child. If you for example are a father... Wouldn't you notice when you son/ daughter changes there attitude, or acts differently, shouldn't the you get the parent instinct that something is wrong? That maybe there into some kind of trouble? What happen to disciplining your children? Kids now-a-days, feel like there parent's don't give them sufficient time and attention. From a kids point of view, I really believe that parents should spend time with there children and find activities to keep children busy and away from drugs and alcohol. My mother personally got me involved me into soccer. I mean it's easy, pay attention to your child behaviors, and keep them busy and sit down have a talk with them. I Guarantee you that you will notice if your child acts weird...

Ms. James,
Did I miss something? A convict with a gun out in public? Runs, pulls the gun from his waist and points it at the officers. I hope the officers read this too thank goodness you both went home safe! Thank you for doing a thankless job. If I missed something please feel free to point it out to me.

LOS ANGELES – An 18-year-old Avenues gang member was sentenced today to 82 years to life in prison for fatally shooting a 14-year-old girl and attempting to kill a second victim.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Lomeli imposed the sentence.
Edmundo Ruiz was convicted Sept. 14 of the first-degree murder of Cynthia Perez and the willful, deliberate, premeditated attempted murder of a male victim. Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee of the Hardcore Gang Division prosecuted the case.
The defendant, who was 16 at the time of the incident, was walking up and down a sidewalk at the intersection of York Boulevard and Avenue 64 in Highland Park.
As he paced, Ruiz stopped to stare at the male victim who was sitting in his vehicle. When the victim looked back at him, Ruiz walked across several lanes of traffic, approached the man’s vehicle and shot multiple times.
One of the rounds missed its intended target and struck Perez who was seated in the passenger seat of an adjacent car. The bullet struck the girl above her left eye.

Hey 107, if you are in a good school and going to be a lawyer maybe along the way you can learn about punctuation and basic grammer skills. You'll have a hard time with the BAR with language abuse like that. You ain't as 'quick' as you think.

I wonder if the shooter could get off on a self defense claim?
A rival gang member walks up on him at 2 in the morning, I'm sure he felt threatened.
Whatever, anyway. That's what they both get for being gangsters.

A lot needs to be done about these gangs in California. In some areas you don't have a choice but to join the gang or you will be targeted and killed. Most of these young teens join these gangs so they can be protected and survive. If you don't live in these areas you could never understand the pressure and strength these gagns have on these neighborhoods. There is no excuse for their actions but there is a big problem here that led up to this that needs to be handled. More innocent people are going to continue to die as long as nothing is being done about these gangs.

Hi from Italy, this piece of news landed here, it is tragic and incredible at the same time. We realize you have a war over there, a war that makes no sense because it sounds like it's based on one's looks - we read of stuff like this going on between tribes in the most remote and rural areas of the world, we would never expect to see the same going on in our front yards. That said, the tragedy within the tragedy is reading some of the comments above. We have a similar situation in my Country. If someone gets randomly killed where I live, the fact would stick on the newspaper's front pages for months, the killers would be hunted down even if they escaped to Tibet and endless TV debates would follow. If someone gets killed in the south of Italy, no one would care. It's mafia down there, so, in some way, the victim must have been killed for some good reason. If you are unlucky enough to be born or live in a certain place, then you are automatically guilty
anything happens. To the Family I can only say you have all our sympathy and we hope this tragedy would at least yield a change for the better by drawing the type of attention it deserves.

I do live on 107 and hoover street in this gang so called turf (its the tax payers turf not street criminals) but do not associate with them (at least the ones not related by blood)...pa 107vershard is out and stay safe everyone..oh am 20 years old

and um, hey kelly, when your son or daughter gets hit by a car, shot, or anything right in front of you, i'll be the first to say the exact same thing to you right in your face. his mother is a kind loving woman that only wanted the best for her sons. but while he was young, both of his parents were working long hours. today, his younger brother fabian is at a private school playing football with a 4.0 GPA and his youngest brother hugo is not that far behind. you people cannot say he influenced little kids into becoming gang members. when he was the one pushing his own sibblings to do good. he would tell me. "stay away from drugs; keep going to school; get good grades because you don't want to end up like me." he wanted what was best for everyone else and saw it was already too late for himself. he was working and going to church. your taxes never supported him and he wasn't on welfare, he was becoming a good member of todays society. you people didnt know him or my family. in fact he was shirtless because he was going to go to work at 9:00 AM. when the police got there aroung 8:00. plus that's not even LAPD jurisdiction. wtf were they doing there? sherrifs deputies should have been present. but you stupid bald headed white people on steroids feel you have the right to even go on his property without a warrant?? are heartless enough to be joking around when a 20 year old youth was just killed by one of your trigger happy partners? you LAPD are no better than the gangs themselves. i have seen police officers go up to prostitutes and tell them to give them dome or they'll arrest them. you guys think youre high and mighty when youre taking bribes from the kind of people you should arrest?? you guys are jokes, just another idiot with a gun and piece of flashy metal. so to all the LAPD, you guys can chop me up and go kiss your wife with the same mouth, make her taste what you had in there 20 minutes before because you people will get yours.
