That fatal shooting followed two shootings at dusk/early evening a day earlier (Sept. 23): a man was struck/wounded in the area of MLK/17th St. (6th Council district) immediately east of Poly High and a bit north of McBride Park and another shooting occurred in the 700 block of Cedar Ave. (1st dist., a few blocks from the Sept. 27 crime scene) where police found evidence of a shooting but no victim.
All within the past four days.
Five days ago on September 22, the Council voted (without dissent) to confirm its initial Sept. 15 vote (without dissent) to approve a FY16 budget recommended by Mayor Robert Garcia that failed to restore funding to any part of LBPD's former field anti-gang unit and keeps LBPD's officer level for citywide deployment roughly equivalent per capita to L.A. cutting about 30% of LAPD's officers.
