LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Two 18-year-old men are scheduled to make their initial court appearances today in connection with the weekend killing of a counselor who was trying to break up a fight at the residential youth facility where he worked in the Windsor Hills area.
Nyier Mason and Keith Lewis are set to be arraigned Wednesday at the Airport Branch Courthouse on a murder charge, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney s Office.
Deputies were called about 9:50 p.m. Saturday to 5300 Angeles Vista Blvd. in the unincorporated Windsor Hills area, the site of Wayfinder Family Services, a nonprofit organization that provides support services to children, adults and families, said Deputy Joana Warren of the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department.
The union representing Los Angeles County prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit today challenging newly seated District Attorney George Gascon's directives to eliminate three-strikes allegations and some sentencing enhancements, alleging that they are “unlawful.''
Victim s family accuses DA s office of sweetheart deal with suspect KABC
A local family of a murder victim is accusing the Los Angeles County District Attorney s office of making a sweetheart plea deal with a suspect in their case.
Fernando Rojo Jr. was killed in a 2016 drive-by shooting while standing on his porch.
Rudy Dominguez, the suspected getaway driver, is facing life without parole.
Rojo s family members now claim the District Attorney s office made a deal with Dominguez for a shorter seven-year sentence. They also said a judge denied that plea deal. It just seems like the criminals are getting a slap on the wrist while our family members are getting a slap in the face. Not only are we being victimized by our family member being murdered in the street, when it comes to getting justice, we re the ones being victims now, said Amy Rojo, Fernando s sister-in-law.
