Second reputed gangster held in LA hate crime slaying

A second reputed Hispanic gang member was arrested in connection with the shooting death of a 14-year-old black girl that police have described as a hate crime.

Jonathan Fajardo, 18, was believed to be the gunman who opened fire on a group of black youngsters on Dec. 15 as they stood on a narrow street in the Harbor Gateway area, police said.

Cheryl Green was killed and two other girls and a boy were wounded.

Green was not a gang member. Family members said she wanted to be a doctor.

Fajardo was arrested Thursday at his home in neighboring Carson, and police found a gun that will be tested to determine if it was the murder weapon, police Deputy Chief Charlie Beck said.

"Over the course of the last two weeks, we committed every resource to solving this crime," Beck said Friday. "I hope the community will feel safer now."

Another reputed gangster, Ernesto Alcarez, 20, was arrested on Dec. 21. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday on murder, attempted murder and hate crime charges.

Both could face the death penalty if convicted.

"By no means is this case over," Beck said. "The family will never recover, and the neighborhood has some serious wounds because of this."

Beck said the Hispanic gang is "notorious" for racism. Blacks in the area have said gang members have created an invisible line and warned that those crossing south of 206th Street face violence.

Last month, about two dozen activists and residents marched to the site of the killing and called for peace.

Don't be silly. Only white, conservative, Republican males can commit hate crimes. Everyone else is a saint. And an "oppressed" victim one at that.

Lies. Lies all.

That was heavy sarcasm for some of you...

I'm not suprised. Are you suprised? From time to time I watch the LA News, they are leading to a gang war between the two groups. I just hope a lot of innocent citizens don't get caught in the crossfire.

That's a hate crime all right, but I resent the fact that the government, eager to destroy "white" Americans, classifies this as a white against black crime.
