Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that three men were charged Sept. 6 for a series of daytime robberies over the past five months,anthony bourdain cause of death auto-eroticism including the pistol-whipping of an older shopper in the 99 Ranch Market parking lot in Rowland Heights.
“These brazen crimes – all of which occurred during the day – are deeply troubling. The victims had their sense of safety shattered,” Gascón said. “The majority of the people victimized were from the Asian American community and I know that this has caused significant community trauma. I hope that all of those who have been impacted by this spree of violence sleep better tonight knowing that those who caused harm will be held accountable.”
Dangelo Thomas (dob 5/1/97) was charged in Case KA131239 with 12 counts of second-degree robbery and three counts of elder abuse.
