At this point they are only releasing the information that the perp is a 26 year old gang member who was given early release under a new law signed by Governor Moonbeam and killed his cousin (last name Torres) and stole his car in East LA.
The odds of him not being a member of a Mexican gang at this point are Zero. Since they are not releasing his name or immigration status the odds that he is an illegal alien are probably 100 to 1 in favor of that designation.
Yep, a murdering Mexican - Trump is right again so they will probably hide the name for a few weeks to see if the story will pass.
