On Friday (July 10), police identified the suspects as Corey Walker, 19, of Los Angeles; Jaquan Murphy, 21, of Los Angeles; and Keandre D. Rodgers, 18, of Los Angeles, according to the Associated Press. Two other suspects (ages 15 and 17) had their names withheld due to being classified as juveniles.
Investigators are also labeling the posse as a street gang who are linked to the September 2019 murder of Kamryn Stone, an 18-year-old said by his father to be “the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Hours after the between UCLA and Oklahoma football game in Pasadena on September 14, 2019, a fight broke out leaving Stone dead and a 51-year-old Los Angeles man wounded on the scene. Stone was actually on the first day of the job for Cynthia’s Cleaning Company just months after graduating high school.

If they were white you would be quick to point it out, Shlomo.
Here goes another what if they were white comment, further more all you and people of your mind set do is try to distract the world of black struggle
I kinda thought that taking another persons possessions (and life) is widely promoted in rap music? A good bunch of lyrics are about shooting somebody and taking their stuff 😀 I mean, I love rap music since the late 90s but isn’t this type of behavior exactly what rappers usually brag about in their songs?
