The Jamiel Shaw murder in Los Angeles
By Alex Alonso
March 6, 2008
LOS ANGELES – Last Sunday, Jamiel Shaw was murdered by Hispanic gang members that were rolling through 5th Avenue just south of Washington Avenue in what the media has been calling Arlington Heights. This area is commonly know as Mid City, and it is a gang neighborhood and has been so since T. Rodgers founded the Black P Stones almost 40 years ago down the street.
Reports about this community are not emphasizing both the gang conflict that has been part of this community for decades and the racial/ethnic conflict that has been affecting this community since 1996 when Billy Hurd, a long time resident of this community was the first victim gunned down by 18th Street gang members next to the United States Post Office (Rimpau Branch) on Washington Avenue. A few years ago Lil Dogg was killed just a few blocks away and now Jamiel Shaw.
Although no one has been arrested, it is safe to assume that 18th Street gang members were responsible for the murder of Jamiel Shaw, but what makes this murder different is that young Mr. Shaw was not a member of the Black P Stones but an aspiring athlete from a loving home. Because of his achievements though, the murders of other Black males in our city are over shadowed and the previous Black victims from this community have been nearly forgotten.
When Billy Hurd was killed, there was no media coverage. Where was Earl Ofari Hutchinson and other civil rights advocates when Hurd was killed? Where were the community leaders when Lil Dog was killed? Fox 11 was the only media outlet to cover this killing and I was there, and even that coverage was limited compared to the attention that the Jamiel Shaw murder is receiving. If we continue to ignore this conflict because we believe that certain victims deserve to be killed because of their gang ties, we will have more victims like Jamiel Shaw
.
Some people consider the Jamiel Shaw death a “senseless murder,” but we need to look at all these young male victims, Black and Mexican alike, in the same light if we are ever going to make progress in this conflict.
This is a small community that can be contained if we examine the root causes to this conflict and give every victim equal weight in our quest to mitigate violence and bring peace to the community. We should have been up in arms when Billy Hurd was murdered in 1996, but it is never too late to make forward progress.
Listen to “Killer” who is a Black P Stone member talk about how life has been like dealing with this ongoing conflict with 18th Street in an interview with Laura Diaz February 2007.

so true man
Don't believe the hype! Jamiel was a blood. I apologize if his moms happens to read this, but it is what it is.
i never heard anything that this guy was a blood. I wouldnt be surprised but what if your reason for saying that? What was his moniker? Did he have any tattoos?
So another fing spic takes the life of a kid walking down the street, I say put a bounty on those verman, put them in a fing hole,close the border , and unite all the hoods to tolerate this invasion no more,call in the National gaurd, put an end to it and f those who want to be PC..the only thing the Latino invasion has brought to this city is poverty, handouts and crime, f em all if they don't act like humans
as a african american man i say that it is not the Mexicans to blame for their ignorance and there lack of education it is the problem of this country that allows illegals and not just mexicans but illegals from all over to come and walk freely. they live under the proverty line just like we do but when times get hard they join these gangs to protect themselves then they go out and do some smart ish like gunning down people. and then they got back to their country of origin and keep on living where we back here are force to deal with the lost.
Rondney, no matter where you go in this world the devil has a hit out on you because your original man. Think about it. Look around the world you can find racism towards black people. Mexicans hate black. They are slaves to their oppressor the spanish. They are uncle Tom-ahawks. Don’t let the pagan tattoos and all that fool you they are atecz that can’t get off that european liquor and love blonds…and white america will burn this planet down if you don’t worship GOD in their image. The white image of christ is really ceaser bongia the second son of pope alexander the sixth pope of rome. You are not a african american because america never had you in. The plan but to be the slaves after the mexican slaves. Read about it!!!! Knowlege is power….
Hey Rodney I am White and What You said is Right on. Hopefully The Blacks can also get together to stop ALL GANGS. All the Gangs stuff hasn’t helped anyone one in the end. What happened to America and what we were suppose to all be moving towards?
Thanks for giving us to share
so great !
I'll miss you!!
good.~

First off Rodney The ignorant one is you. Fakes are not mexican. Not every one that looks hispanic is mexican you dumb f. I have seen fakes darker than alex alonso. Who by the way is a buster that glorifies piss stains. He doesn’t claim cause he is nothing but a fanatic of the game. I am from the BIG MARERO GANG I know back in the day when blacks used to jump us rob our old folks and do alot of coward acts toward hispanic people. Well now is pay back. We arn’t racist but blacks always pull that card when they feel threatened. Face it we took over alot of black hoods as much as it hurts you alex alonso. Hispanic gangs are taking over . So get jumped in to bps and stop being a fan you fake piss stain. MS PVLS
Mexicans are always talking that we ish ! Every time you turn around there is a new Mexican gang! It seems as if you chickes can’t do ish without a group ! We all know why MM was formed because Mexican inmates were getting that ass whipped by the blacks ! I don’t hate Mexicans but it seems like you have a lot of heart now that you have a large Mexican population ! And Mexicans put out a green light on innocent blacks, but I have yet to hear about a green light on innocent Mexicans!!!!
It dont be green lights on innocent mexicans because blacks aint on no dumb ass ish like tht….

No you would go after innocent children walking home from school. And black people you know don’t gangbang. Biggest slotter because you would get doped up and go look for children with red and blue on. Pagan culture exposed!
f PISSTAINS! f ALL Ni66ahS. 187 ON U NAPPY, LOUD MOUTH puppy dogs!!!
Damn why are the mexicans and blacks beefing , black ,brown pride,thats what the aryans want,,,,why are ya scare(american mex) ya have numbers why don’t ya stand up to the mm in prison or ya that scared,take over their supplies? run your street just make money,? im lost on why peace im a former gang member i watch my peeps and friends gone forever and no returning the jokes the hanging out all now is left are busters
We haven’t addressed the victim yet. All I have heard is honor in snot rags and stolen land. Banging from your mothers porch or in and out of prison isn’t being a man. As far as mexicans calling us Ni66ahs, listen you product of spanish rape how dare you call yourself a man and you attack innocent people that happen to be black. As far as black people gangbangin. Your a reflection of the kkk terrorising black communities. If you threaten humanity I’m like malcolm x we will get our right to live like humanbeings on this planet by any means nessicary!!!!
lol i know right
Who wants some of Deebo, Ni66ah?
Hey! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the nice info you will have here on this post. I might be coming again to your weblog for more soon.
