Awful that this young man was shot and died, but the idea of a yard sale on a thursday is a little unusual. Does the Times have reporters that investigate these incidents or does it just print police distributed information?

See the sad thing is this guy had 2 kids and one happened to see him while he was gasping for his last breaths. Cops don't care about us in Los Angeles. To them it's just another punk off the street but how would they like it if it were their son or daughter? i bet they would have every cop in Los Angeles searching for leads. This whole system is corrupt. R.I.P Joseph Ulloa. Good son, father and brother. We will always remember and love you.

Hey JFLJASDFLKJ, Funny how the cops never heard the part about Ulloa's child watching his/her father dying. If YOU know something or you were there when it happen, why don't you call the detectives and tell them what you know. Or are you going to just sit there talking smack and keeping your eyes open but your mouth closed. Go on; I challenge you to make the call. Ulloa's family has the phone numbers. Good father, brother, son, gangster?? Oh, you forgot the last one didn't you.
