LOS ANGELES — The gang member accused of murdering a local high school football player will face the death penalty, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Pedro Espinoza is charged with the murder of 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw.
Shaw, a standout Los Angeles High School football player, was shot and killed near his Arlington Heights home March 2, 2008.
Espinoza, an 18th Street gang member and illegal immigrant, had been released from jail on a firearms charge the day before Shaw was killed.
He was arrested four days after the slaying.
Shaw’s parents are suing the county, alleging that Espinoza should not have been freed from jail, but turned over to immigration authorities.
Shaw’s parents unsuccessfully petitioned for a law that would enable police to arrest illegal immigrant gang members and hand them over to federal authorities.
Under current police policy, officers are forbidden from questioning people solely about their immigration status.

Dam you really need to moderate the comments on this blog, most of them are purely ignorant i know it’s a blog about gangs, but it’s all gibberish.Nobody has anything good to say but net bang, played out and annoying.
Anyhow back to the topic, yeah that is sad about the kid getting killed by some gangster being stupid, death penalty is a bit harsh in my opinion, but who knows what else that guy done and gotten away with.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:54 am
dona junta here is what i have 2 say to you, obviously you never lived the street life so wtf are you doing on a gang site thats all about gangs & violence. none of the above people are net banging or whatever you want to call it. just people voicing their opinion just like you. & the only comment to be extremly annoying is yours. yes that fucKing FAKETEEN street punk should get the death penality.. I was born and rased in the jungles & yes I am from the jungles so i know what goes down when the street lights comes off… there is a lesson to be taught.. play with guns you just need to be laid down too rest. its simular to eye for eye. take a innocient life and yours neeed to be tooking back as well. also here is a little secret : coming from an original black p stone gang member that is in war with the former rival faketeen street
thats how they are they don’t come through the bity’s nor the jay’s with that shit.. they act on innocient bye standers and claim they are from the hood. and just because faketeen street is labled to be one of america’s or actually the world’s largest gang.. catch um by their self you would never know they bang until the homies come around.. a true definition of another street wonna be busta,pranksta, bitch made faketeen street punk…
August 28th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Don’t assume I never lived street life that is all I got to say. My point was that when there is a discussion on a blog all that other shit just makes the whole post pointless it’s all ignorance this site is not to glorify gangs it’s to get educated, but if the gangsters that speak up on here would just comment their opinion with out all that crap then maybe someone would listen. This is not the only blog about gangs, but most other blogs don’t let that gibberish be posted, but maybe Alonzo don’t mind I am not sure if so then let it be, but it’s wack because nobody discusses the written work!

sounds like a bunch of pointless and worthless garbage if u ask me. dumb little dude got what he was askin for, u wanna be in a gang so u can feel like somebody and do the dirt they do, prepare to leave early dumbass! what’s the point of bangin, when u know it’s a great chance u may not make it past 25, or 17 for that matter. dudes need to get a hobby, go be somebody, and i ain’t talkin down on people bangin, but just tryna enlighten my people on how damn stupid we look. us as black folk already in a losing war against the cops, then we turn on each other as well. them white folks look at us and life and call us ignorant because that’s how gangs make us look. wake the f up!

September 20th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
sounds to me like this kid was not only a football player,but a thug on the street as well,but in order to church it up they say {foot ball star} call a spade a spade people,not saying he deserved to die,thats gods choice,but like they say,you play with fire and sooner or later you will get burned,if you read prior comments its clear this kid was involved with the bloods,another well known nigro street gang
September 20th, 2009 at 10:43 pm

September 23rd, 2009 at 6:32 pm
one gang members kills another and goes to jail…that’s usually how it works!
Maybe his parents can buy there way out of the ghetto since they damn sure didn’t work their way out of the ghetto. They thought they had a meal ticket with their son, but unfortunately he was half athlete, half gang memeber and the latter did him in. And don’t try that bullshit that he wasn’t, anyone who knew him knew he was….pictures surfaced with him flamed out, throwing up his set…talking about being an 18st killer….he had the number 20 on his belt buckle…red laces, red back pack…..YOU CAN”T GROW UP IN THE STREET YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND NOT KNOW THE RULES!!!!!! He knew exactly who he was and what he was doing…good riddens to both of them!!!!!! 40,000 more to go.

Diablo, so you are worried about the black man? I knew it, and you better be!!! Oh yeah, and stay in your hood so that you can keep on living your worthless life, so that a real human being like a black man, won’t end up losing his freedom from taking your life!!!!

This what niggas get for killing each other at a crazy rate, still killing each other up, and not uniting while mexicans peep game and unite enough to throw they weight around. but still mostly in WEST SCLA niggas run it.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
What is it with you stupid Yanks, can none of you speak English? I have read about 20 comments made on this forum and could not understand most of what was being said.
Instead of robbing, mugging and killing each other I sujest you go to school, get educated and earn a living, become a part of society and the human race. At the moment you are nothing but verminand extinction is probably the best thing for you.
Thank god I live in the UK.
My comments are not directed at all Americans, just the idiots whose comments I have read here and the ones who think like them.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 pm
The gangs in LA will never go away. So just bomb the shit out of the place from the air.
January 29th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Josey,”sujest,and What is it with you stupid Yanks, can none of you speak English?” I think you are the one who need to worry about eduction!
January 30th, 2010 at 5:22 am
Mexicans may be able to organize gangs, but they sure can’t organize countries. There isn’t a single country in south or central america that has its shit together. Also the stinking religio catolico is about nothing but having 12 children and not being responsible for anything you do, because confession wipes it all away. Catholicism also keeps people STOOPID, unlike protestantism, which encourages education and birth control. Mexicans might take over, but all they’re gonna do is act like they do in Mexico, so they might want to think twice and try to get smarter, because hispanic culture is straight up stupid compared to western european, russian, japanese, chinese.
Hispanics are about as smart as Arabs, or maybe even dumber, and religion is the issue.
Some of the smartest, most talented people in the world are blacks, but also some of the dumbest, so they’re a special case. However, hispanics can’t even get close to blacks creatively. the Spanish invented flamenco guitar and salsa, and that’s it. They dont even want to learn English, a far superior and useful language. They’re also insanely violent and macho, rooted in the blood culture of the Aztecs mixed with spanish european colonial violent history. Deeply screwed up culture.

Mexicans are not treated equally, there are millions of immigrants whom due to their legal status here cant prosper in the states.. (( they have a hard time finding jobs due to no social # .. they cant go to school cause without any financial aid which they cant get cause it requires legal papers they cant affort to pay it off… they cant drive good cars cause the governator dont want to give out licences and they cant affort to get it taken away.. . and unlike you Blacks we work hard for our issht… all you do is exploit the welfare system have babies like crazy and rob and kill .)) so much for being smart right… . … all these foos do is sell weed and get in neighborhoods… haha… but fuckit… well let the skinheads deal with these loud and obnoxious perpetrators..

There is documented evidence that Aztec and Mayan Indians recorded making contact with space aliens, real talk, and the Aliens use to fuck the women and impregnate them! Do some research about this because there are even documentaries about this. So, this is the reason why these mother fucking Mexicans have those big ass heads, and small bodies with short legs, and this is the reason why they are so fucking violent towards one another!!!!! Aztec or Mayan, white Spaniard, and Alien, now that is a fucked up combination!!!!!
