Arcadia Teen Died From Gunshot Wound Another Teenager Dead after Gunfire Erupts Sunday Morning
A
n Arcadia teen died following a shooting in a residential neighborhood between Monrovia and Duarte early Sunday, according to a written report from LASD. Gabriel Shea Carlos died at approximately 1:40 a.m. after the shooting that occurred at the 400 block of Shrode Avenue, an unincorporated area of Duarte/Monrovia. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau detectives are continuing their investigation into the shooting death of Carlos and actively following up on witness accounts for the shooting, and the two men who allegedly ran away from the scene. Detectives said Temple Station deputies responded to a “shots fired” call at the location. Upon their arrival, they found a male, Hispanic juvenile unconscious and suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the upper body. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. While the Sherriff’s dept. is saying the shooting is not gang related, some friends Monday at the small memorial where Carlos died said there was “going to be more trouble …” According to one report, friends of Carlos seem to think they know who killed him but won’t talk out of fear. One mourner who wished to remain anonymous told Monrovia Weekly “this is a very dangerous area with at least two gangs, Gabriel was definitely not a gang member … he was very kind and friendly.

City of Long Beach Wins Alleged Discrimination Case On May 23, 2017, a Superior Court judge rejected a claim by a parking enforcement officer that her termination from the City of Long Beach was motivated by her race. The plaintiff, Dieanna Hollie, was employed by the City for ten years as a parttime, unclassified Parking Control Checker. Her primary job was to follow the City street sweeper and to issue citations to vehicles improperly parked on City streets during street sweeping hours. Within a two-week time period, Hollie was involved in two separate rear end automobile accidents. Hollie’s manager concluded that Hollie was at fault for both accidents. After the second accident, the City terminated Hollie. Following her termination, Hollie filed a lawsuit against the City, and her supervisor, alleging that she was actually terminated because of her race. In the lawsuit, Hollie claims that her supervisor harbored discriminatory animus against African American City employees. The City viewed Hollie’s claim as lacking any merit and brought a pretrial motion for judgment in its favor. The City argued that Hollie’s termination was based on legitimate, business reasons - the automobile accidents. The City also argued that Hollie SEE PAGE 4
