Ladona Kelly, 41 [Updated]

Is this the lady who was sitting in her car? and she was pregnant??

david colone was killed at tams burgers #6 also 9 21 09 right were ms kelly was killed. tams burgers nice hardy burgers for a good price i constantly drive from long beach to compton , watts, and south central to drive thru the hoods to site see and ive drove by so many candles and balloons since i started my missions to south central.. last sat me and my twin bro were driving by tams on fig and we saw the candles and the balloons and flowers on the ground... we were like there is another one for the homicide report.. and my bro told me yesterday that ms kelly was the un lucky person. ive been to that tams and YOU CAN FEEL THE TENSION ON FIGUERORA ..you order your food and you wait outside like a sitting duck to get ran up on.. people around are constantly looking around at the cars driving by the hookers are everywhere the denver lane blood goons walk around just as the hoover criminal gang boys and ogs..the 40 year old whinoes walk around with a brown paper bag and a beer .... the 10000 block of figaro is certainly hot..just that block im not even talking bout the whole Vermont Vista area of la cause if u factor the whole area over two dozen people has been killed... nice looking 1920s houses overthere... you couldnt even tell its a hell hole if you were driving down denver ave or 109 etc lots of proud home owners who take care of their property..but the 500 blocks up and down and 600 blocks up and down have the majority of the killings... 500 block is the city block tract on the west side of figueroa by the way

Three people have been killed within a few hundred feet of each other at this location.

I'd consider it a danger zone.

Thank you for wikipedia article according to 562vert...

Anyway, this is such a random place to die, I feel very sorry for this woman's family.

My prayers go out to the family and friends...I only pray that Ladona Kelly was a christian woman and spent time in the word of God & repented of hers sins...That's all that matters in life is where you end up in the after life! Heaven or Hell. We all have choices to make and if you are not a Christian and walking it daily then you better start now before its too late!!! Jesus is the only way, truth and the life! Always remember that!

I would bet that the male companion was a gangster or gangster "hanger-on" and he was the target.

hey "g" this is not random place to die... us folks that live in the hood (me off pch and martin luther king ave in long beach 90806) know that burger stands and liquor stores and GAS STATIONS are indeed danger zones for thugs to run up or drive up on ya and start shooting .. as for my wiki page.. u dont have to read it buddy...i pay attention to everything from the dirty side walks that need a good pressure washing to the beautiful architecture that people seem to ignore in south central. Ive been to these streets for myself and i write what i want to write buddy. i just told you a guy got killed there last year and you saying its random.... look at the maps connect the red dots buddy... go to figaro and ask 44 yrear old walking down the street how many shootings he has seen at tams... cause remember the hr goes back to 07 im not even getting on all the MURDERS pre 07 and the 90s and 80s ,,,, just look at the murder trends at tams 2 murders a year... so go back to 1990 and you i bet you many people have been killed at tams... random my you know what @@G

forget that...I aint goin out like that---at a run down hamburgerstand in on Century and Fig...Denver Lane Blood hood...yall kids blowin grown folks away..and yall pullin out the bible...yall need to get yall kids off the streets...what a waste of life...well--in her 41 years on earth...she should have known...its not safe to go out in gang hoods at night...or youll in up at the Coroners office...........thats harsh?...no thats death..thats why she up on here...thank me for my wikipedia article lil G...

I drive by Tams every morning on my way to work and I have seen about 3 different street memorials there (balloons and candles) within the last 6 months not to mention a taped off homicide scene during the afternoon. Everytime I pass Tams I see homeless crackheads, hookers and the Denver Lane Bloods chilling in the front. Im assuming that most of these homicides are between the Denver Lanes and the Hoovers. They got each other crossed out on the walls along Figueroa

— 562vert, some quick math shows that the past 30 years have brought approx 480 homicides within 1 mile of this location.

And that doesn't include AWW's that could easily be 5,000 or so.

This place has bad karma and evil vibes.

This are is very dangerous for the local blood gang in that are. This location is frequented by a rag tag bunch of blood gang member calling them self " Denver lame blood". I don't live to far from this are because am on bud long and 109 so this place is pretty close to home. Tam's burger is a place were other Criminal gangs go and shoot it out with the Denver lame bloods. This guy is driving around with hi girl and living this lifestyle??? shame on him for doing that and also stopping by an area know for killings. These people need to understand when you are gang banging Denver Lame blood there are Other Criminal gangs waiting to take you out

Well let me explain whats going on but from a real resident point of view. Now me personally been shot at by tans. I was driving down century and decided like an idiot to get some food and mind you i had a shirt that said 107 street on it and also had orange chuck on. So basically i had hxxverz gang attire on. I was about to get out the car when i heard my back windshield smash i looked and some guy on a bike across the street was shooting. Now that was 2 years ago but it this goes to show that this are is very much dangerous. I knew what could happen if the Denver lames caught me but i really did not care

This illiterate fake internet gang banger wannbe 1hoe7 snoover, goes around the internet talking about a gang that he not even from... nobody from snoover even know this bum... jus listen @ his fairy tale story... orange chucks on... shirt with 1hoe7 snoova on it... come on stop it.... my prayers go out to the family of this lady, may god bless her soul...

In The Trenches, I've noticed that behavior from our so-called 107Hoover poster also. Seems like a whole lot of stories attempting to show how 'G' he is, and most of those stories don't sound very plausible to me. I don't understand why anyone would take pride in being in on the whole garbage gang culture. So hey Mr, 107Hoover type, do you think it's cool to be in the know on these local gangs? Do you like to dress up in Hoovers gang attire to maybe look tough and scary? Are you a gang banger wanna be? Did you go to the police when this guy supposedly shot out your rear window? Was there a police report filed? Or are you maybe just telling stories?

the nonsense has to stop.....but that tams is NOT A DENVER LANE TERRITORY LMFAO @ the stuff on here....and its not criminals either thats all imma type

I know about "DLB" gang one of my favorite rappers "B Brazy" was from dlb... he got killed in 2003 when he was 28 he was an artist from the banging on wax roster...but yes just like he rapped about figaro ain't no joke..if u listen to his raps and the other Denver lane blood rappers..they love figeruroa and will take out anybody from the outside..I guess the tradtion continues...but I thought the hoovers took tams over...I thought wrong... sycom3's numbers he posted is what I had in mind....I knew it had to be in the hundreds...since the 80s..that's when the big guns came in to south central..before that. It was small time gun play that came in in the mid 1970s... and as for the shootings...thousands. of bullets flew around that area..... like the lottto motto.....who's next..107hxxer. U got lucky that day... I never been shot at yet...even tho I have had guns pointed at me and gang hands signs thrown at me in long beach and south central...

I hope the Lord helps this family during this time of pain and grief. The Lord knows how it feels to have his precious child murdered.

First off I would like to say rest in peace Ladona Kelly. Second I would like to say to the family of this young lady, that I am praying for your strength, guidance and understanding in this horrific matter and to continue to trust and believe that GOD has your back and justice will be served.
In addition with all due respect to the family and loved ones of Ms. Ladonna Kelly I’d like to inform the readers that I am very familiar with this location, it is very sad and a disgrace to our community. Like 562 stated there are drug users, dealers, basket pushers and prostitutes (half naked not to mention some of them look young enough to still be in High School) all along that area. I personally know of a few people who have lost their lives at that particular location in fact; it’s not a random place to die @G. I wouldn’t stop at that Tams to save my soul, the owners can care less what goes on , around them, for they are surrounded by bars and five inch thick bullet proof glass , not to mention who in their right mind would even eat there its beyond nasty and dirty.
But besides that I think we in the community need to somehow come together and try to stop this MADNESS by demanding that this TAMS be demolished and grass and flowers be planted in this area, so that these people have nowhere to hang out we have realize that this young lady and so many others have lost their lives and family members and loved ones are left suffering because of this foolishness its just not fair. And to those that are posting comments, let’s have some respect @ 1x7HxxVErZ “DENVER LAMES” and @ In The Trenches “1HOE7 SNOOVER” come on your being just as ignorant as the ones that pulled the trigger and you know well what I mean.

— B.O.N.D, good idea about demolishing the area around Tams. But untill the underlying causes of these killing field neighborhoods are addressed, all you would be doing is shoving the problem from this location to somewhere else.

It would be like a sisyphean task doing it.

The changes needed requires the people living there, city, county, regional, state and federal to all provide their part of the solution. And the set of politicians we have now, that will never happen until change is demanded and enforced at the ballot box.

As I always say; this election day look at who you will vote for and whether they have done like they promised.

There are more good people that live in the vermont vista are than the bad... but the small percentage of criminals are running around...yes there needs to be a revolt against the goons by the law abiding citizens of vermont vista ..just like they do it in the "good" areas of so cal... cause the people of thousand oaks and Manhattan beach...agorua hills, cypress , and la marida wouldnt take that crap in their cities. This goes for all of us living in the hoods across so cal... there are more of us than them !!!

— 562vert, it will take the community to support the police in harassing these cockroaches to the point they leave.

But that means choosing solutions that are going to be unpopular with the main stream media and their gang enablers.

Wouldn't it be great if some of these religious leaders declare a crusade or jihad on the gangs?

yes we need a holy war in the hood..cause i get stopped by police a few times a year i expect that...they run my name..then let me go..they seen my file...its clean they cut me loose and im not a knuckle head so its business as usual . We all know who the active goons are. both the police and the civilians know..and from me getting stopped by the police since the late mid 90s in the hood i say 98% of cops check u out and cut you lose cause they got bigger fish to fry...ive been stopped by jerk cops and got chicken crap tickets(as adam carolla puts it) but in the hood thats not the norm. The police should put the smack down in the hood and ill support them..and the people in the hood need to keep the cops busy ie calling the police on people and drop the "stop snitchin" way of life..cause the goons dont care about you or me, they dont care if youre black or white or brown , they just look out for the fellow goons..im a single dad ..screw the crooks

wow.foolz going hard over the net.for sure my prayers to the fanily and friends of this young lady.unlike most of u that have posted ,i live right here.i go to tams.and i know the dangers.dont be ignorant,i dont condone gangbangin,but if you bang you know the consequences.affiliation and association theres a very thin line.far too many deaths of youngsters that did not bang, but they sure hung on the slab with the homies.anybody that consider themselves O.G,NOT A "g"(there is a differance)need to run those wanna be ass fools home.keep it 100.dont be a coward letting fools die for your hood that aint from your hood.but,not to miss my mark,this lady did not deserve to die.and oh for you hardcore internet bangers, i dont bang and took six for a hood,just because of my association so i kno firsthand, and trust gangmembers arent the only ones that go hard in the paint.....

not 24hrs after i posted my last comment,my good friends son was murdered on rosecrans at inglewood ave.groeing up in L.a had numned my sences to death,been to too many funerals been to too many murder scenes,but this one hurts..........

@boondoc saint, well your good friend son Randall Baker Jr. was a fool for getting out of the car, im still here days away from my 28th birthday because i let petty stuff like road rage incidents go...i dont have time to be fighting let alone getting out my car because of sombody cut me off or something like that. Hard working man whole life ahead of him all gone for what? like dave chapplle said...."keeping it real" laying under a sheet in the street.....

Its blogs like this one the give those of us on the outside looking in a real sense of what it is like in these areas. So fascinating. Thank you HR.

To Ms. Ladona family my condolences.. I see your pictures of u an your granddaughter on your son's page your Turely missed an no matter where this happened it's always unfortunate to lose loved ones especially to street violence. My Cousin uncle also passed there... Rip

give me a break - "So fascinating"? You're a freaking idiot, seriously. Who the hell finds murder, fascinating. Do us a favor and stop posting here, moron!

— Cali ; ever look at the interactive map? There's many places in LA County that are not a "danger zone".

I find it fascinating. The ultimate crime against an individual.

No one will say it; So I'll say it... No human being is worthless! R.I.P.

Still missing u LaDonna, thnk about u all the time. You showed me Cali huh, we did that!! So real u wuz. My homie. Sit and stare at ur pic all the time. I kno u in Heaven Mami.
