Frankie Ogburn, 24 [Updated]
Died June 30, 2010
Frankie Ogburn, a 24-year-old black man, was shot and killed Wednesday, June 30, in the 1400 block of West 84th Place in Manchester Square, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Ogburn got into a verbal altercation with another person about 7:35 p.m., said Det. Young Mun of the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Division, who is handling the investigation.
The person then pulled out a gun and shot Ogburn, Mun said. Neighbors who heard the gunshots called police. Authorities arrived and Ogburn was pronounced dead at the scene, Mun said.
Investigators have made an arrest, but they declined to identify the suspect until they finish discussing the case with the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to call Mun at (213) 485-1383.
[Updated July 14: Authorities arrested Randolph Patterson, a 57-year-old black man, on June 30 in connection with Ogburn's death.
According to the felony complaint provided by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, he has been charged with one count of murder, one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and one count of possession of ammunition.
Prosecutors said Patterson has an extensive criminal history, including prior convictions for forgery, grand theft, grand theft auto, robbery and corporal injury on a spouse, cohabitant or fellow parent.
He is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 15 at the Los Angeles Municipal Court.]

this is ground zero 8tray hood.......google map the adress...and you will see to LAPD cars and a bunch of peeps in the back talkin to the cops......looks like a kick it spot..and spot got hot....if youre not from there...I would never go over there........
July 11, 2010 at 7:34 a.m.
It amazes me how black love has evaporated the hood, These young dudes are gone, before they can be truely remembered!
Us blacks have the white man laughing, saying "wow billy bob" we should have invented gangs long ago, these stupid coons would have become extinct by now!
Get some heart little dudes and learn how to get um up, I'm not saying bring a fists to a gun fight, I'm saying all confrontation don't have to end with a black man dead.

foclipz - I googled this address, and man, you weren't kidding. I can see the cop cars all over the street. Wow, must be a war zone!! Crazy.

Bigro619,
I think it's sad that you reference the "white man" If you're from the hood you'd know it's the latinos and the "black man" that kill blacks. The White man doesn't hang in the hood. The white man doesn't pay enough attention or care enough about the hood to worry about you being extinct. Come up with a new hate symbol. That would be hard though. You'd have to look in the mirror.

This was not gang related!!! this was a spousal war!!! i no people on that street. i i was told that they stayed arguing. i guess she got tired. man aint that something. black people we need to wake up we are killing each other faster than any disiese could kill. lets show these people. i personally did not no h3mie but rest in peace love one!!!
July 13, 2010 at 12:16 a.m.
This was not gang related it was domestic.And know he did not do anything to deserve being gun down in the street so if you dont know the facts please dont comment on it he has a mother and father that is grieving and a two year old son that cries for him every night so please be respectful of that.lets find a solution to this horrible problem of our youth being gun down.men stand up and be a solution and not the problem it could happen to one of your love ones next if we dont stop this non sense that is going on in the black and brown neighbor hoods

@Foclipz & 1x7hxxver you should know your facts before speaking on something. First off this was my sister in laws home, not a hang out. Second off this shooting was not gang related it was a result of an ongoing domestic situation between him and the mother of his son. She chose to involve other people and it ended tragic. Frankie's family grew up in this home so everyone, yes 8tray's new him since he was born and knew his family before he was born. too suggest they had anything too do with his death is insulting. At the end of the day there is a life gone for nothing, over a stupid argument. There is a mother who lost her son, a little boy who lost a damn good father, family who lost the light of their lives and friends who lost the most loyal and inspriring person they will ever have had the good blessings too meet. So before you start giving your half ass opinions, spitting on the graves of people you dont know, LEARN and stop judging, that's God's job, not yours.

You people in California are a trip,we hear about you all the time in America,you don't care about one and another,you kill kids,you kill your own family,black killing blacks like it's just another day,most latino's I can understand there illegals wanting to start trouble,but why do you hate your people so much,and why do you think pulling a gun is the answer,if you don't end up dead,you go to prison to wait on death,but if that's the life you pick have at it.good luck and if you don't care we don't care just keep it to yourselves, Texas out.....

Hey Mr.Westside1x7hxxverz I bet the police love you cause all you do is talk. I don't know any gangstas that stay on the computer as much as you. U need a new hobby before you end up in some BS cause you talk way too much.

he was a shady guy with a baby out of wedlock, she was a shady girl who had a baby without being settled and married. the shooter was a shady guy who fostered and enabled this shady lifestyle. all of this because of a loose promiscuous lifestyle coupled with gangster mentality. it is amazing that so few see a problem and try to defend this basic regression of civilization that is in our hood. get mad

well i see people still talking and dont no what thay are talking about
July 23, 2010 at 6:46 p.m.
For all those making comments using secret names and not your God given name, you need to stay off of here speaking on a young man you knew nothing about. Frankie was my nephew and he will be truly missed. His death had nothing at all to do with gangs. Frankie's life was taken by a man that had no idea at all who God is. If he did he would understand that he took a life that was not his to take. Yet only God can judge and instead of you on here talking about gangs. You need to be hitting your knees praying for the young mans family that will truly miss him and the man who took his life. Please keep my sister in prayer along with Frankies son who will be with out his father whom truly loved him.
July 25, 2010 at 12:33 a.m.
First and foremost,Lord bless my brother Frankie I pray his soul was saved and bless the hearts of all who loved him. I even pray for the person who killed Frankie, he's sick. To all u people talking sHut up. Opinions don't amount to anything but tHe facts do. The fact is Frankie is gone his son is fatherless and his Mom lost her son. Another fact is that a lot of people loved Frankie and if this was ur loved one u wouldn't want people talkin unnecessary bulls*** that aint true. Try to find it in ur weak ass minds to have some compassion sympathy and respect. But I know that's probably hard to do iN a generation wHere people are ignorant with no concept of God or His love. Wake yall asses up and stop being so damn stupid. I love u Frankie Ur sister Forever G Ty.

I am so happy the family said something y'all need to stop it to today all this judging last time I checked that was the lords job this mans life has been taken his family is hurting and all y'all can get on here and say are negative words and comments smh@y'all losers and yes black people put these guns down and stop blaming the whiteman that's. Y'all killing each other the whiteman hasn't come to your hood and killed nobody at their hands....get a life losers.....I will pray for frankies family god bless....
July 26, 2010 at 9:21 a.m.
For those of you who did not know my son, why are you makin comments about something you know nothing about. My son is gone over some baby mama drama who couldn't let him go on with his life. So now his son has no father. He truly loved his son and was a devoted father to him. Please let my son rest in peace.
Aug. 3, 2010 at 4:15 p.m.
all this pontificating about the Lord and judgment and all that, where was it prior to this lifestyle of gangs and having babies with the random women i.e the daughters of other old gang members...oh yeah, there is always gang ties somwhere. but when you live that lifestyle your reality is different, unusual and enabled by generation after generation. do the talking and praying in person while they are still alive.
