Homicide Report > Anthony Hermosillo, 27
Anthony Hermosillo, 27
Died Aug. 22, 2010 at 8:03 p.m.
Anthony Hermosillo, a 27-year-old Latino, was fatally shot Sunday, Aug. 22, in the 5200 block of Banewell Avenue in Vincent, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Authorities received a call of shots fired about 6:15 p.m., said L.A. County sheriff 's homicide Det. Ron Duval, who is handling the investigation.
When police arrived, they found Hermosillo in his parked car with gunshot wounds. He was taken to County-USC Medical Center, where he died a short time later, Duval said.
While Hermosillo was being taken to the hospital, Covina police stopped a car near Enid Avenue and Arrow Highway. Inside, they found Michael Velez, a 30-year-old Latino, who also had gunshot wounds, Duval said. Paramedics were called, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses to the shooting said two men were shooting at each other. Investigators believe Hermosillo shot Velez, but someone else shot Hermosillo. The third assailant was described as a male Latino.
No arrests have been made in connection with the case, Duval said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Det. Duval at (323) 890-5500.

Another gangbanger in the ground. He may have been someones loved one, but after everything he was another gangbanger! Good Riddance!

@Azusa Redident
How sad that your heart has no compassion, that your world is so small that you no longer care about another human being. Whatever happened to you or your loved ones to make you so cold hearted I pray it is lifted off of you. If you can say such a cold blooded thing you should be very careful. Karma sometimes creeps up on you. Stay in prayer and may God protect you from your own cold heart. God look out for Anthony Hermosillo's family and give them some peace.

— TrumpTight,
Before you judge, Do you think that just maybe gangs may have terrorized, or caused much grief in this persons life that they feel the way they do? Like your question to them,
"Whatever happened to you or your loved ones to make you so cold hearted?", I would believe it's the gangs, and the gang activities, and I truly understand their ill feelings for gang members. We don't know if the deceased may, or may not have been in a gang, and it would be cruel to say that if they weren't, but to see all the pain, and heartaches gangs have caused us, I understand why they say, and feel the way they do; One of the reasons this this HR blogg stays full is because of the activities of these gangs.

boy Azusa Resident they might say almost the same thing about you when you die!

TrumpTight-
FYI... I had my BF die in my arms because I had to take a shortcut to get him home that night. Little did I know that we were driving in a "hot" neighborhood and he got shot in gang crossfire. Not that it is anyones information but my own.
Besides, I live in the neighborhood where this happened. I heard from this guys brother in law that he was looking for a bullet proof vest a week prior to this... What kind of decent human being is looking for something like that?
How much sympathy can we really give a gangbanger if this is the life that he chose?
I have compassion... and I too believe in karma, but what did this man expect??
HE WENT UP TO THE GUYS DOOR AND SHOT HIM!!
Open your eyes!!
Aug. 27, 2010 at 2:01 a.m.
@Just Say'n--I was not judging, I just wondered what would make a person say good riddance when a life is lost.
@Azusa Resident- I am sorry for your loss. I was just wondering how someone could feel nothing when a human life is taken-I now know why you feel that way-I sincerly apologize to you and pray that you and your family can find peace.
Aug. 27, 2010 at 11:31 a.m.
Some people get shot because they won't join a gang. And who said anything about gangs anyway?
Aug. 27, 2010 at 11:41 p.m.
— Roger Upuras, just what are the odds that two non-gang members are armed and decide to shoot at each other?
Too bad the Times doesn't publish the "rap-sheet" of the deceased.
Aug. 28, 2010 at 9:28 a.m.
!Anthony We Will Always Miss you I Will pray for you and your love ones may you R.I.P! this goes out 2 every body That Dirent Know TONY he was a good father hard working man and over all a good solddier!!
!!!! ANTHONY HERMOSILLO R.I.P,YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS UNTILL THE DAY WE DIE!!!
Aug. 28, 2010 at 6:32 p.m.
Azusa.girl - Why do you refer to him as 'a good soldier'? Was he enlisted in the armed forces?
Aug. 30, 2010 at 1:52 p.m.
@syscom3 -
>Too bad the Times doesn't publish the "rap-sheet" of the deceased.<
Why don't you look his "rap sheet" up yourself?
Then post it on this page.
Matter fact do it for every person listed on the Hr.
You say your tax dollars pay for all these messes.
Call the detective's listed and ask them, you are comfortable with the police right?
Otherwise stop thinking the Hr is a debate floor.
Its not
Aug. 30, 2010 at 4:54 p.m.
— Nosyscom3 ..... I wish I had the resources to do that.
But I figure the Times is a news organization who has greater access to such info than me.
As for debating on these pages; if we don't do it here, where will we do it?
Anything else you need to know?
Aug. 30, 2010 at 5:47 p.m.
— Meck, to bad these "soldiers" cant be charged for war crimes. Maybe even capture them and hold them as prisoners until the "war" is over.
This is the psychosis that society has to deal with in these killing grounds. An acceptance that violence and mayhem is the normal, and the psychopaths who commit it are wonderful people.
Aug. 30, 2010 at 5:56 p.m.
WOW!!!!! can't you guys see whats going on read the bible... the devil is for real find a church and fright the good fight don't let the devil have the last laugh... my prayers are with his mom!!!!
Aug. 31, 2010 at 4:51 p.m.
GOOD FATHER??? He wasn't thinking of his child when he went to mikes house and did what he did.... he was only thinking of himself...not only did he destroy and hurt his family but he hurt and destroyed mikes family as well......
Aug. 31, 2010 at 10:29 p.m.
Me, you addressed it like it is.
Sept. 2, 2010 at 1:25 p.m.
syscom3, there are several postings claiming these guys weren't gangbangers. You don't need to be a gangbanger to have a gun or shoot at somebody else. It happens quite frequently. I think is safe to say about 1/3 of the homicides are gang related.
Sept. 2, 2010 at 1:39 p.m.
wow sum people hve no heart, i hope it ends here, no one knows the real story. so for all u rude cold hearted people just let it be, it is what it is..
Sept. 2, 2010 at 2:14 p.m.
— omg, were not the ones commiting violent acts of terror upon the community. And we do know the real story. Hes dead because he got into a gun fight. He went looking for trouble and trouble found him.
Sept. 2, 2010 at 7:40 p.m.
Tony we will miss you so much mijo, no one can ever take your place. People can talk all the nonsense they want but you will always be loved by us (your family) and no matter what the paper said you did noisey people will never know the truth. All you people are quick to judge but Tony was loved and was a good father and Uncle. I love you Tony!!!
Sept. 6, 2010 at 5:26 a.m.
Anthony just to say that i'll always miss you!!!!and you'll always be in my heart...let those good memories of him bring a smile to ur face...always make time to think of him...N he will live forever in our hearts N minds!!!! "I LOVE YOU ANTHONY"...
Sept. 8, 2010 at 9:23 a.m.
its a shame that nobody stopped him knowing what his intentions were....his actions did ruin alot of peoples life...forever!
Sept. 8, 2010 at 7:54 p.m.
"All you people are quick to judge but Tony was loved and was a good father and Uncle. I love you Tony!!!" — Shortys Queen
So we are not supposed to judge someone who was in a gun fight in a moving car? And what a good father and uncle he was!
Sept. 9, 2010 at 11:26 a.m.
syscom3
Are you a decerner of the heart now. I am not taking up for anyone but, could it be that one of the males was harrassing the other and even went to the point of telling people that he was going to kill him. So now we have two people armed with guns. One because he has a mission he is on and the other, in fear of his life and feels he has to protect himself. Hatred is a strong and dangerous emotion.
Sept. 9, 2010 at 12:43 p.m.
@Christian-I feel you.
Sept. 9, 2010 at 1:10 p.m.
Anthony, i believe would die for those he loved, his entire family, his friends. It is said, there is no greater love than to die for another. This is truth! Therefore, great love he has, this is truth. Therefore, who are you to judge such a man as my nephew. Do not say good riddance but, how sad that this should happen. Uncle AC
Sept. 17, 2010 at 12:21 p.m.
— Andrew c., we are going to judge him as a criminal who engaged in a shootout in public, putting many people at extreme risk. As such, the judgement will be harsh!
Maybe in your violence filled world, this is acceptable behavior. But to the rest of us, this conduct is atrocious and should never be condoned.
Sept. 17, 2010 at 2:32 p.m.
A man with no name? Clue! U live also in this violent world! You go ahead and judge our Anthony, you are not alone, i care not of your opinion, you have no name therefore are no one to me. He will be judged by one who is worthy and has a name. I do not condone violence and yet you assume this? Another opinion, another harsh judgement. Clue! Relax, he's dead, what more punishment do you wish on him, death is society's ultimate punishment. I wish no reply. Uncle Andrew C.
Sept. 18, 2010 at 12:26 p.m.
I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a... keepsake from which I'll never part..... God has you in his arms. I have you in my heart.I MISS & LOVE u "Anthony"
Sept. 20, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
@syscom3... absolutely love & appreciate your honesty. The sympathetic response to gang-bangers and other malcontents of society is one of the reasons I HAD to leave LA. Love some things about the city and some people... but there's an obviously "sick" mass of people there who don't "get" that it's wrong to call "bad" people GOOD and "good" people "bad". Don't ever stop being perceptive.
Sept. 20, 2010 at 8:15 p.m.
Syscom3, YOU ARE NOT THE JUDGE OF MAN. You have the right to free speech but you can not blame the family for the mistakes their son or daughter makes. You are not perfect-no matter how you say you are;there are things you have done that you regret doing. Maybe not criminal acts but you have faults just like anyone else. If you were in a court of law then your statements would be taken into consideration but here you should realize the family is reading this and it is not right to put them down because of their loved ones mistakes. This blog is for memories and comments. You are saying negative things about a dead person you don't even know. They are DEAD- and you continue to rant and rave as if they can hear you. You feel that everyone is in the same catagory and all should be killed-would you still honestly feel this way if your son or daughter was involved in some criminal act or they were with someone who committed a crime? Would you be so harsh if they died while in a criminal situation? would the harsh words of judgement you spew be taken lightly by you if the shoe were on the other foot? Do not say that your kids would not do or be in that situation because you can not know what they would do or not do. You can only lead them in the right direction and arm them with the moral and values you would like for them to have, but their moral compass will be different then yours. So just keep in mind, life is very unexpected and things happen that we as parents have no control over,so be carful not to put your kids in such tall cotton.
Sept. 21, 2010 at 6:37 a.m.
Dear Norestforme,
You are so right...as a parent every single time my children leave my sight I have no idea what they are up to. None of us do. As a parent we can only hope that the values we have tried to instill in them keep them from doing something stupid. And as a parent I can only hope that I have the insight to my child to know that my child is in the process of doing something bad or stupid and to prevent it from happening. All of us parents know what are children are up to. I don't care how many hours a day any parent works. When I come home and their chores are not done...why not? Bad school grades, why? If I am not calling the school and finding out what is going wrong or just to make sure everything is ok my bad!! Hanging out with the school bully? We know all these things and like it or not it really is up to us to save our own kids. Now if your are writing about a parent who really doesn't want to parent and really finds a bunch of reasons not to be involved then those are two different situations. And like it or not most of the parents of the dead on these pages are the latter, most of them I'm sure love their children but could care less what they are doing on a day to day bases. Thats why the child ends up on these pages. Just breaking down the figures from these blogs one gets a pretty good idea of what kind of parents these "kids" had or have.
Sept. 21, 2010 at 10:58 p.m.
I can't believe today is a month that you are no longer here. I miss you Tony and the way you used to be never phony yet always so real. I hate not seeing your smile when you would play with your nephews they miss you so much, they still cry hoping you were still here. I know you are in a better place yet the pain is still there. We loved you so much if you were only here we wouldn't be going through the nonsense that we are. You trully are missed!!
Sept. 22, 2010 at 12:38 a.m.
.......mAAAAAnnnn.....where to start....i grew up with Tony,knew him since he was a toddler,its so hard to see someone you've known ur whole life pass away,even harder when there killed. I've been with Tony's most" VALUABLE TREASURES" thru this unbearable tragedy...I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE PAIN THAT I'VE SEEN HIS DAUGHTERnSON GO THRU...UNBEARABLE!!!a girl who doesnt have her daddy2give her away on her wedding day,and a lil boy who doesnt have his dad 2play catch with nemore...A FAMILY THAT HE LEFT BEHIND WAY TO SOON....BUT IN ALL HONESTY...THEY GOT FROM TONY what some people spend there whole lifetime looking for in a father...he gave them everything he never had,JUST LIKE NE PARENT WOULD!as parents we always want to give our chidren what we didnt have and HE DID JUST THAT!!!
2:TONY i jusss wanna say i am honored n PROUD2SAYthat u've been a part of my life...my memories are priceless jusss as your presence in my life....luv yA TONY
Oct. 16, 2010 at 10:56 p.m.
Damn...2months have gone bye, It feels 4ever since i last seen you...Baby I'm thankful 4all the days you've had my back...You're loyal to me,it's was me & u against the wourld.And Im loyal to you -I will always be your girl!! I LOVE YOU ANTHONY...
Oct. 22, 2010 at 2:45 p.m.
— his GIRL... "it's was me & u against the wourld"
Why were you both in conflict? Is that why he decided to arm himself?
Oct. 22, 2010 at 4:08 p.m.
Anthony was not thinking of anyone else but himself...he put a lot of lives at danger..mikes family was at his house..there's a time and place for everything...I'm sure nobody would want drama at their house...he didn't seem to care...he fought like a coward...and that is what he will always be labeled as....A COWARD...there's no need for guns...that's why we have fists...ur right there isn't a punishment greater then the punishment he got for taking a very special person from me..his family and everyone that loves mike...and I am so happy he didn't get away..he must of known he wouldn't get out of there alive......now he can never hurt anyone ever again.........
Oct. 30, 2010 at 7:46 p.m.
-Me....... Why don't you have some respect and keep your comments to yourself! How can you comment on anthony when you didn't even know him, did you ever stop and think that anthony never went over to mikes house with the intentions of harming anyone, maybe he THOUGHT he was going to talk to a friend!!!!! But fools be thinking their all crazy and then in reality get put in their place so stop acting like mike was all innocent cuz he wasnt thats why that fool got served!!! And the only reason anthony didnt get out of their alive was because someone shot him from behind like a COWARD. Anthony was no coward he had HEART and would have got down with anyone no matter what size or how many!! And i know anyone that knew him could vouch for that!! He would have never wanted this for anything his life was too precious he cared about life and the people he loved the most!!!! So when you say that your happy he didn't get out of their alive well all i can say is that im not happy about any of this situation but i am glad that he didn't go out alone!!!
Nov. 2, 2010 at 5:04 p.m.
@ Me!!!!! You have some balls to sit up here and disrespect our loved one! I'm one who will vouch with T's best friend!! Tony had heart, a heart so big that he wasn't afraid of any one or anything! There's so much I wish I could call you but I'm not one to have computer balls like you! I mean why the heck would you post something like that u heartless thing! Be real with yourself you must know the truth about what happened! Mike should have minded his own business instead of thinking he was all mighty. I dnt wish death on no body but at the same time no body is gonna sit here and talk nonsense about Tony! all I can say is your one dumb truck! May God have mercy on your soul cause I won't!!!!
Nov. 3, 2010 at 6:19 a.m.
Ur rite t....mike wasn't innocent....but anthony knew what his intentions were going to his house... no one should ever disrespect the way he did...he knew they didn't get along so why put urself in this situation...?? Its sad it had to come down to this...ur rite anthony turned his back and was shot...the person who shot him wasn't a coward he just didn't want him to get away...so he did what he had to do....mike turns his back and gets shot?? Who's the coward???I got nothing more to say about this idiot....I'm just really glad he didn't get away with murder... !!!
Nov. 3, 2010 at 8:12 p.m.
Stupid, senseless violence - if T went to M's house just to talk things out why did he have a gun? Now the families are bickering and threatening each other - haven't you learned anything? Stupid, senseless violence.
Nov. 8, 2010 at 9:28 a.m.
lilysweet!! SHUT UP and MIND your business!!!!
Nov. 8, 2010 at 6:02 p.m.
— Shortys queen; this is thread is now a soap opera of which you are part of.
Dont tell anyone commenting in a public blog to "mind your business". especially since you've made a few controversial comments yourself@
Nov. 8, 2010 at 9:15 p.m.
Seems like Mr Hermosillo went over to Mr Velez's house with the intention of committing murder and did in fact murder Mr Velez. It's not clear what Mr Velez did to anger Mr Hermosillo like that but is there ever any justification for going to a man's home with a gun and killing him? I guess the only good news here is that our murderer got himself killed in the process. At least we don't need to feed and house the maggot in the state prison with the rest of the maggots for the next 30 years. Nice culture you all got, BTW: don't you ever let nobody disrespect you!
Nov. 9, 2010 at 9:25 a.m.
ShortyQ: I'm guessing you are in fact no one's queen. As syscom3 stated this is a public blog - if you want a blog dedicated just to the memory of your loved one filled with flowery prose, please feel free to create one.
The HR is a tool for concerned citizens and others to both pay homage to certain victims and to comment on horrific murders such as that of a 5-year old on Halloween. I am deeply saddened that such evil lurks amongst us. However when a senseless, stupid and preventable act of violence ends with a double killing one should expect more outrage and condemnation than sympathy.
It is my hope that one day very soon we will all grow weary of just talking and will be spurred into action to demand that the police and others slam these gangsters back into the dark hellish corners from whence they came.
Nov. 9, 2010 at 2:42 p.m.
@ syscom3 you are so insensitive and heartless towards the love ones of this young man. You absolutely have every right to make comments on these blogs but come on be respectful and have some compassion. Your comments are out right insensitive. Sometimes I think you make these insensitive comments to get a reaction out of people. I've read some of your comments and some are valid but some our outright rude. Have a heart and be respectful. I understand your view point but your comments are not going to change the situation. We all know that you’re a law abiding citizen and never broken any laws but most of us human beings have done some wrong in our lives. Most have ran afoul of the law, but I do believe most are trying to change and do what's right. For those that are not I hope they seek God and ask Him for guidance. Just because someone breaks the law or joins a gang it does not means they deserve to die or are ignorant. I will never make excuses on why people join gangs or break the law. Most communities in the inner city are put in positions to fail. Not an excuse it's reality. Start trying to fix the problem instead of putting people down. Try finding out way things are they way they are in the so called hood. Try becoming a solution to the problem. That’s what the community need. If you are indeed a honorable human then you have to see were I'm coming from. ONE!
Nov. 9, 2010 at 7:38 p.m.
Keepin it real,
We already contibute more money into these areas then should be. So we are all contibuting into these area's already. How much money via welfare is being poured into these communities? How much money is being poured into these communities via section 8? OR money via food stamps or money via welfare to work programs? OR worst yet what is that program called where parents get even more money handed to them via food vouchers if they have children under 5? Oh yeah WIC!! So how much more money do you think should be handed to these areas? When is enough enough? Oh and before you ask...no I'm not going to walk into most of these area's and be a walking target...heck if they even kill their own they would for sure kill me and walk over by dead body and not think twice about it. And as for asking God for guidance??? God doesn't answer our prayers on our time he might not even answer at all so how long does one wait?
Nov. 11, 2010 at 12:05 a.m.
to everyone that comes on here being rude and disrespectful i know for a fact that in time just for you being so heartless you will experience something so heart breaking and will eat your own words, that's what usually happens to people like you and you will look back and regret ever being so mean and judgemental when none of you even know the truth you already judge! Who knows maybe you will be convicted of something and everyone will judge you!! Like driving down the street and accidentally hitting a small child, and be called a murderer!! maybe you all should watch carefully of what you say it will come back to you and i hope it does!!!!
Nov. 11, 2010 at 6:55 p.m.
SJP you got it all wrong. It's not about handing out money it's about having opportunities to live a product live. All those programs are good but there not solutions. it's almost like a bandage. It all start with education. How about putting money in our education system in the inner city. How about funding the local parks so our kids can have a place to go after school. How about funding youth development centers to help kids develop into positive adults. Most people in the inner city are not looking for a hand out, they are looking for a legitimate opportunity to live a productive life. As for God answering prayers; brother I don't know what God you pray to but the God I pray to He answer all prayers. It may not be when you want it answer but He will answer it, NO DOUBT. Have faith. ONE!
Nov. 11, 2010 at 7:56 p.m.
— ilubu, homicides are not a pretty thing to discuss. If we do not talk about it here, then where?
The Times is providing the public with a chance to be heard about how we all feel about this ugly part of some parts of our collective community.
Save the good thoughts for the obituaries, not the HR.
Nov. 11, 2010 at 10:39 p.m.
— keepin it real ...... how about people like you begin to vote for officials that will actually work to solve the problems, instead of blaming everyone and doing nothing?
You want more money? Where's it going to come from? Business's that have left the state? Maybe recover some tax money from the huge numbers of illegal aliens that consume resources but don't contribute back?
A lot of resources is spent in these killing field neighborhoods. There's no reason to spend more and more to get the same end result. Change must begin with the people who live there!
Nov. 11, 2010 at 10:44 p.m.
Keepin it real,
NO way!!! You didn't just write that most people are not looking for a hand out? You go to any school in the inner city...any school. How many parents turn out for parent/teacher meetings? Almost none! How much more money do we pour in to these communities before we say enough? Every thing that goes into these communities is not enough. Now we should pour more into what parks? More programs that will be run by what people in those communities because that's the way the grant will be written and then when all that fails what's next? As for education...yeah you are right about that so as soon as 99% of parents or those in parental roles get their acts together and take a positive and heart felt interest in their childs education, I'll be the frist one in line ready to pour more money into these areas. Until then, here's a story for you: My best friend was killed a few years ago. She left behind a wonderful father. At her services I told her that she could leave in peace because her father would always be taken care of as long as I was around. So these man has a store in a low income area, every now and again I go help him out with his store. What do I see??? People coming into that store with thier EBT cards and purchasing $20.00 or $30.00 worth of candy, soda's, ice cream, chips...and yes even beer and wine well you get the point. And this same mother or father that's purchasing that junk using monies that was meant to support the child not the parent is not buying a book to help the kid with his school work no that binder that was need for school was too much money but the 30 pack at $21.29 was just right! Funny I took the $5.48 right out of my pocket and purchased the binder for the school project and what did the parent say in return...You do yours your way and I'll do mine my way. What the hell did that mean? She couldn't just say thank you. No she had to show me how much (fill in the blank) she was then me. All that and I never even made a big deal out of purchasing that binder. The kid stood there begging his mother for the binder she turned to walk out the store. I made the purchase. No big deal. But NOT wanting a hand out...it that were true less money would need to be spent on welfare and medicare and WIC and more money could be spent on the programs you listed.
Nov. 11, 2010 at 10:59 p.m.
This goes out to all the rude, insensitive people who have left rude comments. First and foremost why do you people keep getting on this blog? I mean what is your purpose? did you know Tony or Mike? because if so thats understandable but if not do you like get email notification or something because that's just straight out being nosey. The only thing I have to say is Tony had no intention to hurt Mike, Tony went to the street Mike LIVED on to talk to a so called mutual friend, Tony didn't have the intention to even talk to Mike, Mike came out and got in between the conversation and one thing lead to another, in fact his kids were at home waiting for their dad to return in "15 minutes". What happened, happened only because some people have faster reaction time than others, lets put it this way if Tony would have gotten shot first would you still consider him as this monsterous murderer as you claim him to be, so lets stop pretending that Tony was the main suspect in this matter. I love how Mikes family or friends get on here claiming to know everything, we have learned so much about the situation cause his friends have big mouths. I'm surprised "me" hasn't posted names on here. I bet the press and detectives would love that! what bothers me the most is how everyone is so judgemental against people they don't know. I could never even imagine leaving rude comments about Mike even though he had a lot to do with my brother in law not being here any more but that just goes to show you that we as Tony's family have hearts, it's about respecting the love ones. Tony and Mike are no longer here they can't read this blog but on the behalf of Tony's family members we ask that you please keep your negativity to yourself. Go post rude comments on child molesters who really deserve to be called names. If you people cannot respect this blog then I know you guys have no heart and I pray that one day you never have to sit in front of a computer and read comments that don't characterize your loved one!

Despite all of messages from this criminal's friends and family, I still have yet to hear a persuasive defense of his actions. There have been a few vague references to "disrespect," but as it stands now Mr. Hermosillo went to Mr. Velez's residence with the intent to kill and was himself killed in the process. What are we missing here, folks?

— MR ..... what you are reading is the gangsters family, they themselves part of the gang or at a minimum "gang enablers" trying to justify the indefensible. That's the type of rot you see in many of the homicides in this blog.
For them, violence is a way of life and they try to justify it on vague grounds of "disrespect". From my perspective; a lot of people from these families were playing with fire and got burned. Now they don't like the outcome.
And maybe its the first time in their lives that they are hearing things from law abiding people they have never heard.

MR and Syscom!!!! I guess you truly are incapable of understanding what happened. I could sit here and write on this blog 20 different ways and you still wouldn't understand the concept of the situation, so why should I waste my time explaining it to people with no common sense! I bet your the type of people that sit at home and hope you get jury duty papers in the mail. I believe that you people are senior citizens and are just bored with your life, so getting on your computer makes you happy. I hope and pray to God that you people are excused from jury duty cause you only hear what you want and many people will get convicted because of your stupidity! Gangsters or not Tony will always be loved by us and no matter how you feel towards our Tony you will never be loved as much as he was. Our Tony was a good person, loved his family to the fullest and showed fear to none. Talk all the crap you want, I will no longer reply to your dumb comments cause your just a plan retard who come off the short yellow bus and are basically a waste of mine and everyone elses time!!!! I love you Tony and we miss you every day hoping you could be with us. Life definatly will never be the same but our love will never change. Love always your favorite sister in law "jack stepho"!!!

.@ SHORTYS QUEEN....okay first of all....ur rite I didn't know anthony... I knew mike...I've seen anthony around never talked to him...why would I put names on here?? For what...like u said what happen happen right?? So ur saying mike had something to do with ur brother in law not being here anymore?? So ur saying he got what he deserved?? Violence on violence doesn't. Solve anything..do u know for a fact he had something to do with it?? Or word of mouth...?? Anthony may have been a good man.. that's fine...u said he went to talk to a mutual friend.....if someone u didn't like came to your house would you just sit back and not say anything??? Of course not... your just trying to make him look like something he wasn't.. oh and I'm sorry I called him a man its more like a coward.... I have no more to say about him...you say for me not to make my comments well then don't call me out on one of your comments and expect me not to respond...

— Shortys Queen;
1) In the culture the majority of people subscribe too, gang life is not normal and to us, you're the one with no common sense.
2) I get a summons every several years. Fortunately there isn’t much violent crime in my county so the opportunity to get on a criminal case is limited.
3) Being a senior citizen is still a couple of decades away for me. Bored with my life? Not with the HR being available!
4) I suppose juror's like me are your worst nightmare because we don’t tolerate sociopathic behavior and accept no excuses for it.
5) Gangsters are not considered nice people, except in those cultures where violence is the norm.

Anthony i miss you so much not a day goes by that i don't think about you and all the good times that me and you had. All you people that don't have nothing better else to do other than wake up in the morning and run to the computer and talk down on a person that you didn't even know have some respect!! Everybody that know Anthony have nothing bad to say. Becareful what you say about a person that is the total opposite.Have some respect and let him rest in peace out of the respect of his family and his loved ones. other than that baby i love you and you will remain in my heart always

@ ME! It's obvious you can't read. So
Don't put words in my mouth. I said I don't wish death on anyone. You have broadcasted way too much info on this blog and especially Mike's blog. Best believe I think Mike has a lot to do with Tony not being here. It's clear to me that you got your story from unrealiable resources. I never assumed you would ignore my comments and I could careless. You should go express your love on Mike's blog since he was sooo "special" to you. Tony was a lot of things... a great father, uncle, brother and son but one thing he wasn't, was a "COWARD". Tony just never let people disrespect him, straight out. I believe Tony and Mike would still be here today if Mike would have gave two individuals their privacy. Like I said it is what it is and we can't change it, no matter how much we all hurt. You are not the victim in this case and either was Mike or Tony. When you bang you know what the outcome
is, so stop lying to yourself. Mike wasn't a law abiding citizen. God took Tony's life and Mike's at a young age but what brings a smile across my way, Tony knew the Lord so with that said I know heaven is a better place with Tony in it, but earth will never be the same!

— Shortys queen ..... "Tony was a lot of things... a great father, uncle, brother and son but one thing he wasn't, was a "COWARD". Tony just never let people disrespect him, ... "
If he was a good family man, he would have stayed clear of sociopathic behavior and would tend to his family.
And his idea of not letting himself be disrespected sure has caused a bunch of bloodshed hasnt it?
BTW Shorty, care to comment on the many victims Tony inflicted pain and terror upon?
Nov. 18, 2010 at 10:37 a.m.
syscom3- I just want to comment on what you said about tony "should have tended to his family" well first of all i just want to let it be known that Anthony loved his family so much and if anyone knows that would his kids and i! Anthony worked since he was just a young man 16yrs old, since the day he found out we were having his baby girl who made him so happy along with our other beautiful children! Since that day until the day god took him from me, he never let us be without sure we struggled just like everyone does but was always a hard working man! More than alot of men out there who deneye their kids or make the girls get abortions! He was a family man! He loved to just stay home watch movies, take his kids for bike rides, go for hikes, we did countless of family outings and we loved it! So please out of respect for our children and i just leave all your comments to yourself! Enough has been said and i wish you would just stop! You are not even anyone who i should be explaining anything to but in the future my children might log onto this blog! And even though they know what kind of dad they had i just rather them not read things like this! Your the best daddy in the world tony and im so proud and so greatful to have had you in my life for the past 10 years no one can ever compare to you my lub "forever and ever" i love you

@ T's best friend!! Mija don't pour out your heart to worthless people mama's! we know Tony was a Good man and especially a wonderful father. We have lots of memories we can fall back on and smile. The memories Tony left us not only brings smiles but laughter as well, and laughter is medicine to the soul :0) Tony loved his children more than anything in this world and we all know that. People can make him sound like a monster but we know that isn't true. The love Tony had for all of us still lives on today and when Tony loved some one he sure let them know and not only by showing them but by telling them as well. I miss him soo much!!! I still wait for him to come walking through my door and asking "what's for dinner?" he sure did love my cooking! man I miss Tonia. Remember how he use to get mad when I would call him Tonia, haha he had so many different names for me. We know the real Anthony not the one the press and other people make him out to be! We love you Tony to the fullest!! Although God had other plans for his life and took him at a young age, I can honestly say I was blessed to have had him in my life for 12 years!

Shorty give it a rest why don’t you! You are not going to convince anyone outside of your little circle that AH was anything but a gangster and a thug. He went looking for trouble and found it; the HR stated he killed someone! I may be wrong, but I don’t think “God taking him” is why he isn’t here anymore. You desperately want to keep the discourse going because you obviously have nothing better to do. Sounds like you have a big family, if you celebrate Thanksgiving you might want to get a head start on that cooking and put the keyboard away.

Gangsters need love too!!!!

So ur saying its mikes fault he died that Sunday afternoon?? If anthony wanted to "talk" to a friend then he should have gone elsewhere..just like you say anthony would fear no one mike was the same..anthony should have never disrespected by going to his house straight up..he had no business being there.. you will know him as the person you claim he was but we will always see him as a killer.. I know exactly what happen that afternoon..and no there isn't a point in pointing names on here..for what..anthony got what he deserved..he killed and got killed..end of story..
Jan. 8, 2011 at 9:14 p.m.
YOUR DATH JUST BROKE THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE YOU LOVED. When I found out that you had died I thought that they were wrong. You were so alive-and then just like that, you were gone. A light that shines no more on earth for which we shed many tears!!!! And I need you right now Babiiee!!! You hear all the prayers I say because they are answered somehow .I wish that you could be here,… but in a way you are. Your symbol of a rose goes everywhere with me, so I know you can’t be far…But no one will forget you!!!! You were my first REAL LOVE!!! And this I will never 4get.. How you left without a warning No GOOD-BYES, MY ONLY REGRET …I know you still are with me Your love is within my heart Though life is no longer present OUR SOULS WILL NEVER PART…This is given to you in honor OF all that we did share in the past 3yrs, I just wanted you to know LOVE, How much I really do care….I feel no one understands me, apart from you. I go to your grave expecting a response to the pointless question I can’t get ACROSS. .Everywhere I go I see your face, & realize HOW much I MISS you, & on the day you died a piece of me died TOO...Until GOD closes my eyes, I can’t IMAGINE life without YOU!!!!... :( 4ever My love…I love you Anthony!!!

Whoever these two were... whatever they did to each other... there are other innocent people on the street. I live on the same block. Imagine if my kids went outside at that very moment to play and got struck in the crossfire? Don't bring the violence home.
April 4, 2011 at 8:10 p.m.
Azusa Resident - I totally agree with you. Anyone that puts the community at risk deserves no sympathy. He went looking for trouble and found it. End of story.
