Linord was my cousin.. he grew up in south central los angeles. My cousin was a paranoid schizophrenic and was diagnosed with manic depression or bipolar disorder. He was killed by officers of the Lancaster sheriffs department in cold blood. The corner report stated he had cuff marks on both wrist however the officers stated he reached for their gun. He was shot twice. A paranoid schizophrenic who was chased earlier that day by white men calling him a nigger. After a long life in and out the jail system. He proclaimed lancaster was a better place where he could avoid the bad crowds and change his life for the better. Unfortunately, he never got the chance. He was the eldest of a single mother, leaving behind two sisters. He is missed!!
