[quote=Anonymous]Looked for a thread to post this, but none were appropriate.

Between the horrible thefts of goods on the railroad in LA and the trash left by thieves, there are also murders on the rise.

Thankfully, the US attorney decided to get involved in this case......

Luis Alfredo de La Rosa Rios, 29, Ernesto Cisneros, 22, Jesse Contreras, 33, and Haylee Marie Grisham, 18, are all charged with “violent crimes in aid of racketeering,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported Thursday.

The charge of violent crime in aid of racketeering carries a potential death penalty and a minimum sentence of life in federal prison without the possibility of parole because the fatal shooting occurred during a robbery.

Rios, Cisneros and Contreras are all active gang members, federal prosecutors said, while Grisham is considered a gang associate. In a post-arrest interview, Grisham allegedly told investigators she had been dating Rios for about a year.

In the interview, she also said that Rios and two other gang members were “looking for people to rob” on the night of Arroyos’ death. the 27-year-old Arroyos was a three-year veteran of the LAPD.

L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Thursday he directed detectives to take the case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office because of his opposition to L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon’s decision to no longer pursue sentencing enhancements in gang cases.

“I believe their plan was to just prosecute a simple murder with no gun enhancements, no gang enhancements, nothing,” Villanueva said at a news conference.[/quote]
