Mario Gutierrez

Mario Gutierrez, a 37-year-old Latino man, was shot at 4442 Verdemour Ave. in El Sereno about 10:45 p.m. Nov. 22, Thanksgiving, and died at the scene.

LAPD Hollenbeck detectives said that Gutierrez and his brother-in-law got into an argument during the family's Thanksgiving gathering over a remark the brother-in-law had made about Gutierrez's wife. The argument escalated to pushing and shoving, then spilled out onto the street where Gutierrez was shot. The 27-year-old brother-in-law turned himself in to police a few hours later.

Update: Police said the brother-in-law was later released; prosecutors said the killing was self-defense. Guitierrez, they said, had fought with others and picked up a chunk of cement to lob.

Contacting the dead this way your asking for more bad luck, let their souls rest, besides when you use the board your contacting demons pretending to be those who passed away.
