Carlos Valencia

Carlos Valencia, a 30-year-old Latino, was shot and killed on Friday, Feb. 12, in the 300 block of North Stimson Avenue in La Puente, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records. 

Valencia, of La Puente, was one of three men who were shot about 8:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Valencia was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other two men were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening wounds.

The victims were in front of an apartment complex when the gunman walked up to them and fired several times, authorities said. The shootings appear to be gang-related, according to Sheriff's Deputy Rick Pedroza.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

Ladies,

Both of you are showing your true colors by posting these negative things about each other. Do you realize that you are both fighting over a dead man? I mean he is dead...he played both of you and you allowed it and instead of being mad at him you are taking it out on each other...why? May be he loved both of you and may be he did not but one thing is clear he was getting what he wanted at of both of you and now that he is dead he is still what he wanted the both of you mad at each other while the no good two timer rest in a grave!! The both of you should grow up and keep the memory of your children in your minds before you post one more thing on this blog. Say and forget it, write it and regret it...both your children one day are going to read what you posted and they will even read your post name...Carlos' one and only??? really? "Hes" one baby mom? Again really? You know that just writing those two names doesn't make it true right?

Sandra, I dont even know where to start with you, I know! Ill start by asking did u go to school, cuz man ur spelling is all paisa... its "fine" not "find" and its "his" not "hes"...Theres lesson # 1 for you! 2nd Carlos wasnt just "My Brother n Law", he was a great male figure to me. I have lived with him and Amie for 6 yrs, i have right to say whatever i want, i spent more time with him then u ever have and bcuz ur jealousy got the best of u, u tried to keep ur son from him, but its cool we got a relationship with ur son anyway, he calls my dad grandpa. we love Angel, and if u decide to keep him from his sister(Aleena) and the fam, that will b another 1 of ur bad decisions as a so called mother. Ur not worth anything, Carlos hated your from the bottom of his heart, if you only knew.

i remember one time me & my husband were chillen at our house down the street from his moms house, and we looked down the alley and saw Carlos coming down the alley on his bike,(thats when he didn't have a car) but anyways he was so mad, he didn't really say a word, then my husband asked,"a homie whats wrong." He said," i just got off the phone with Sandra and she won't let me see my son." He said, "its because i don't want to be with her she takes my son away. He was so sad but at the sometime he was mad. I felt so sorry for him there was nothing that me or my husband could do. He's not really a sad person, but that night all he wanted was to see his son or even talk to him. But someone got in the way as always!! And every other time he would come over he would say the same thing about Sandra. Carlos alway told my husband that his son was his world and he would be there for his when he was ALLOWED. Then when his daughter was born it was like a whole new world for him. My husband saw how happy he was and how he was able to be there for his new princess. He said to my husband that, "its werid being around he wasn't use to it but he LOVED it you could see it in his face.

Weezy,
My comment was not to be taken literal!
Had nothing to do w an actual education BUT was meant to the ignorance and wasted energy they were both spending over a dead banger..

Wow amazing what a lack of education and family values does to this world! I hope u guys help mold his children into becoming amazing citizens, and not get caught up in the life style that everyone stereotypes Latinos as being gang banger, theives, lazy and losers. I symphathize with the children in losing their father, but u as parents need to step up and show the children that there is more in this wonderful world than violence, and hatred. Good luck to you all. God bless the children.
