Officials announce $50,000 reward in killing of 22-year-old Mid-City man
Posted
Steven Lopez was well known around the tight-knit Mid-City neighborhood where he grew up. Neighbors knew the struggles he endured.
When Lopez was 7, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had surgery to remove the tumor, but it came back. He had surgery again.
His family thought he was finally in the clear. But last March, Lopez was shot and killed near his home in the 4700 block of West 17th Street in Mid-City.
On Tuesday, authorities asked for the public’s help in solving the case and publicized a $50,000 reward for information in the killing.
His mother, Flavia Lopez, spoke through tears near the spot where her son collapsed and later died.
“I ask you, with my heart, with all of my heart, to support me,” she said. “If you saw something. … Speak up, don't stay silent, please … Look at me, how I'm ...
La muerte a tiros de un trabajador de 58 años de edad de Boyle Heights, sigue rodeada de misterio
Posted
Juan Romero se despertaba cada día antes de que saliera el sol.
El hombre de 58 años de edad se ponía en silencio su uniforme para ir a su trabajo en el Centro Médico de Kaiser Permanente: pantalones y zapatos negros, una camisa de cuello blanco con corbata a rayas y un chaleco de color cereza.
Pero el miércoles 7 de noviembre de 2018, Romero, que era conocido por su puntualidad y porque casi nunca faltaba a su trabajo, no se presentó a su turno que iniciaba a las 6 de la mañana.
En esa mañana nublada, el cuerpo de Romero fue descubierto a las 5:54 a.m. por un oficial de la Patrulla de Caminos de California en el interior de un Toyota Corolla verde oscuro que se encontraba detenido en la rampa de acceso a la autopista 10 de la calle Soto, según la policía.

Victory McElhaney, a 21-year-old black man, was shot and killed Sunday, March 10, in the 200 block of East Adams Boulevard in Historic South-Central, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.
About 12:30 a.m., McElhaney and eight friends walked from a nearby home to a strip mall liquor store in the area, said Los Angeles police Capt. Billy Hayes.
After buying alcohol, the group was approached in the parking lot by three or four men. The men attempted to mug the group, and McElhaney was shot after likely objecting to the robbery, Hayes said.
The muggers fled in a car and no one else was hurt. McElhaney was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:12 a.m., according to coroner’s records.
McElhaney devoted most of his life to the intersection of community and music.

Bryan Anthony Mares, a 23-year-old Latino, was fatally shot on Saturday, March 9, in the 11800 block of Arkansas Street in Artesia, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner records.
Four people, allegedly documented gang members from Norwalk, were arrested later that evening in connection with Mares' death and another non-fatal shooting earlier that evening just a few blocks away, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Derrick Alfred.
