LOS ANGELES — A mentally disabled man beaten to death with a baseball bat on May 29 was captured by a surveillance camera in Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, May 29, 2007, around 8:45 p.m., James McKinney, 41, of Los Angeles, walked to a store from his home, a board and care facility for the mentally challenged. As he neared the corner of Wilton Place and Olympic Boulevard, a male assailant approached him from behind and violently struck the back of his head with an aluminum baseball bat. The suspect then fled on foot. McKinney, hemorrhaging, fell to the ground. An unidentified passerby called 911.
McKinney was rushed by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics to Cedars Sinai Hospital, where he died from severe head injuries on June 3rd.
Police describe the suspect as Hispanic, between the ages of 16 and 20 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall and approximately 175 pounds. In the surveillance tape, he was bald, wearing black shorts, a dark T-shirt and white tennis shoes.......

With L.A. gangbangers, it is intrinsic to the topic..........Hard not to bring it up.
That's an Hispanic gang, almost all Salvadoran.
They seem to like those aluminum baseball bats.
The Kennedy proposal would have given AMNESTY to these two murderers for all their other crimes, if not for the killings.
I think Teddy and his lackeys LIKE other murderers or something. Or, they've been scoring some good dope and don't want to give it up.
This is not the United States Senate the Founders had in mind.
This sounds like an initiation killing.
Good luck finding that in LA! The only way he gets caught is if he brags and gets ratted out, unless some witness saw more.
Local news just interviewed a guy who claims he can i.d. the guy in the video. Local police say they have the identity of the guy, and if I heard it right, I think they said they know where the bat is, the bat which was the murder weapon.
Don’t like the truth, do you?
Great if the catch him. This one needs off the street bad.
Oh no....do the cops have the serial number of the bat?
Agree, I'm just wondering why they had a video interview of the witness, along with his name. If the murderer is a gang banger...
He'll be signed up for a minor league team next year with a big bonus, to boot.

LOL. That was a real informative article.
Maybe in the next day or two KABC news can cough up with more information than "the suspect was arrested on June 13."
who says the devil doesn't walk among us?
You haven’t been paying attention. Now they’re all undocumented AMERICANS (Reid, D NV)
Which version of the “truth?” The assume-he’s-an-illegal “truth?” Since when did that become the FR-accepted version of it? What a laugh.
Yep. My thoughts also. Just a guess, but homeboy had to "prove" himself.
What courage it must have taken to perform such a manly act. /s
