LONG BEACH, Calif. - Capital murder and hate-crime charges were filed Tuesday against an alleged member of a Latino gang in the fatal shooting of a black teenage girl, Los Angeles County prosecutors said.
Ernesto Alcarez, 20, was charged with one count of premeditated murder and six counts of attempted premeditated murder, with the special circumstances of murder to further a gang and murder based on race, the district attorney's office said.
Alcarez, jailed without bail, was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Long Beach Superior Court but the proceeding was postponed to Jan. 8.
Prosecutors have not decided whether to seek the death penalty if the case results in a conviction.
Cheryl Greene, 14, was fatally shot Dec. 15 in the Harbor Gateway section of Los Angeles. A district attorney's office statement said gang members, without provocation, allegedly opened fire on the teenager and a group of her friends. Three of the friends received non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and three others were not hit.

Isn't it the 5 that follows the coast up from San Diego and 15 is the inland route?

Except the blacks belong there the illegal aliens do not... I still think it's going to end in a major gang war.
To: Arizona Carolyn
well, the five turns inland at Camp Pendleton and you dont see ocean again til crossing into Canada.
To: GSlob
That's what death penalty was intended for.
Unfortunately, in California he has a better chance of dying of old age (even if he's 20 now) than getting the needle. There's what--700 on death row there and they've executed 14 in 27 years? AND there's a moratorium because it's "cruel"?
No, cruel is making families of the victims suffer for decades cause you liberals are too spineless to dole out the punishment WE THE PEOPLE decided upon for this scumbag.

I think you're both wrong. The 101 starts downtown.
PCH (Hwy 1) breaks off below the El Toro "Y" and goes up through Dana Point, Newport, Huntington, Seal Beach, and then into Long Beach before hitting West LA.
The 5 and 405 split off in south OC.

This killer should get the death penalty. Period. The whole concept of "hate crime" is absurd. It only breeds more hatred.

But wait! Liberals have always told us that minorities cannot be guilty of hate crimes because of their minority status, and that only whites can be guilty of hate crimes.
So where is the outrage and commendation of this prosecution from the 'black community' leaders who've always sang this song...?

but "murder based on race" is ridiculous. i can't beleive it's even a charge.
part of some gang initiations is to randomly attack someone based solely on race. "murder based on race" could make the difference in regards to it being pre-meditated or not.

Why should they care? They have their own bodyguards, paid for by us, the long-suffering taxpayers.

Right, it runs up then through Irvine and splits there into the 405 as I remember.. it's all changed a lot since I lived down there.
