Ruben Campos, 21

Died Feb. 3, 2011

Ruben Campos

Ruben Campos, a 21-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Thursday, Feb. 3, in the 1100 block of South Kern Avenue in East Los Angeles, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Campos was walking down the street about 12:30 p.m. when he was confronted by an unidentified male, said sheriff homicide Det. M. Quintero, who is handling the case.

The two men exchanged words and the assailant pulled out a gun and shot Campos.

Authorities were called and the victim was taken to County-USC Medical Center where he died from his injuries, Quintero said. According to coroner's records, he was shot several times.

No arrests have been made in connection with the case.

The shooter was described as a Latino in his 20s wearing dark clothing, Quintero said. He was last seen running south before getting into a waiting vehicle. Officials do not have a description of the car.

Campos was a documented gang member, Quintero said, and the shooting was gang-related.

Anyone with information about the death of Ruben Campos or the identity of the shooter is asked to contact Det. Quintero at (323) 890-5500. One can also leave an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers by calling (800) 222-8477.

This story tuly brought sadness and tears to my eyes.

Ruben was an old student of mine, at the high school he attended when he was about 17. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, Joanna and his children.

May you rest in peace Ruben, until we meet again.

I know it is very heartrending to know how this world is so occupied with wickedness and evil; where does any1 get the dignity to cross the line of shooting any human being in front of the victims young little baby child, its disgusting to know how this world is so wicked, but i can see this world crossed the line into wickedness along time ago.

its hard to understand why some one would kill another person with their baby in their arms. Maybe the killer doesn't understand what love is. He was not taught to pray and believe in the lord, so now that person will get caught for what he did either here on earth or in heaven,...

but all i suggest is you repent for your sins because murder is not acceptable in any way or form.
....

hahaha laugh all you want because the laugh is on you! i know who you are!!! i know what you eat! i stand right by you & know what you do.....


your so afraid you keep running from reality & from the idiotic sin you commited, one day your going to trip and fall right into a deep dark whole were u will not be saved!!!.

one day your going down.

Amazing not one person has commented about the gang life he espoused and lived. He died because of it. If it hadn't been reported that he was a gangster, you would have thought he was an innocent angel who wouldn't hurt anyone.

Has anyone mentioned the many victims of his violent lifestyle? You think the victims of his sociopathic lifestyle would like to tell him about the pain he inflicted upon others?

— syscom3
July 5, 2011 at 11:03 a.m.

It seems he was from Kern Maravilla, and got caught slippin'.

— Meck
July 6, 2011 at 10:07 a.m.

LA Times - I've read over and over again that you monitor these posts and decide if the comments have any meaning to the crime or can offer some kind of answer to solving these crimes, but NOTHING that syscom3 says has anything to do with the crime. EVER! All he/she does is attack the family or friends of the victims. I commented that he/she is back on HR trolling family comments... but did that make the cut ?? NOPE!!

— SMH
July 6, 2011 at 4:24 p.m.

SMH, syscom3 never left the HR, what she did was go back to the 2009 , 2010 and make hurtful remarks to the bereaved families on those posts. What the HR has allowed her to do is nothing less than racial bullying, bashing, what she is allowed to do is stereotyping to the worst degree. Someone should go thru the posts since 2008 and compile all of syscom3's and the other fictitious names she uses and send them to responsible new outlets. It is strange how she gets away with it. I hope there is no connection between her and the LaTimes.

— Sheba
July 7, 2011 at 2:44 a.m.

— Sheba .... I am flabbergasted that someone thinks I am newsworthy.

The only thing you and a couple other posters dislike about me, is my honesty on calling the deceased for what they were when alive and kicking. And that goes for their family, friends and associates who subscribe to a lifestyle that makes the HR possible.

Being a racist, a bully and stereotyping the deceased? Hardly. I just call them as I see them.

— syscom3
July 7, 2011 at 12:35 p.m.

To SMH and Sheba,

No offense to either of you...Sure, at times syscom3 can be offensive, harsh, brash and often times callous. But a lot of the times he/she speaks the truth and it's hard to hear. I haven't heard s3 EVER type a racial slurr, unless of course despising gang-bangers is racist.

Occasionally, there's the stupid question, "was he a gang member?". Agreed, that is both personal and none of our business and often times we can read between the lines on that one. But it's a tough question that the families of these victims should have probably asked themselves a long time ago instead of turning a blind eye, in many cases.

What you're reading is someone who is educated and obviously fed up at how many of these horrific crimes happen in LA alone, by the minute. Where is the taxpayers' money going instead of helping to slow the rate? We can all see what this is doing to families and the statistics are sickening.

It isn't LA Times' fault, in fact I've been frustrated at some of my "sympathy" posts that seem to not make it when my heart poured out to the families, and it's frustrating.

But remember, the Homicide Report is a public forum/blog. These are not obituaries, rather reflections of the actual police reports taken from the scene.

I'm not defending the person as much as I'm defending public opinion, which is a precious right we're ALL entitled to.

— mightymike33tm3
July 7, 2011 at 2:58 p.m.

SMH and Sheba,
Sometimes the truth hurts. But this guy was no angle sure his family wants to believe that he made it to "heaven" and that he is up there kicking it with God but theres actually no way of knowing that. As for what his past may have contibuted to his death is reality. What crimes he commited while alive is realevent to the kind person he is or was. What he did while alive is up for fair game. The fact that he died the way he did is testimonial to the way he lived his life.

— Jet
July 7, 2011 at 11 p.m.

Hey - never did I say that this guy was an angel.

My post was directed at LA Times. I'm frustrated that so many of my posts have been ignored when I've never submitted a disrespectful post. Maybe a hand full of my posts have made the cut, but time and time again syscom3 cyber bullying posts have. Lets see if this one makes it = )

What makes any of you who have commented here about Ruben "Resting in Peace" or being "in Paradise" will actually end up resting peace or be in paradise?

Is it just because he's dead?

Don't you get it? People ARE held accountable. We meet our maker and have to answer for whatever we have done in life.

Jesus Christ mentioned "hell" many, many more times than He mentioned "Heaven." The Bible makes it crystal clear over and over again - unless and until you accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior, confess that you are a sinner (and not to some guy in a booth) and REPENT, you are NOT going to "Rest in Peace" or spend eternity in "Paradise." It is just NOT going to happen. Any of you who think anything else are making a mistake so catastrophic you can not even begin to imagine it.

If God sent his son to suffer horribly and then die on the cross for YOUR sins (which He did) and you just go about your lives doing whatever the heck you want without acknowledging what a truly terrifying price was paid FOR YOU, without doing anything at all about it, you are in for the worst surprise of your (eternal) life. Paradise??? I guess if you think suffering eternally IS paradise, then you don't have anything to be bone-shatteringly frightened about. So when the Bible mentions the word "fool" - which it does - it is talking about you, "foo."

They say that sometimes we look upon are friends to guide us throw bad & good but who is he to speak of others that do good or bad when he does not look at him self or she does not look at her self neither... we are sinners but we are afraid to admitted it but the bible says when we die we all are at peace. and we have to forgive the one that talk evil about one and other....

"Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace"

Let him rest his soul, Mourning is a selfish act. It is what you do to make yourself feel the loss to yourself of someone close to you. if you think about it. They are not in pain, have no struggles, have no problems. Their story is complete. : (

I'm Remembering you peacefully in my heart and soul, I don't need to go to your grave site every week or every month, your in my mind and in my heart, peacefully. I talk to you at night and I cry for you, but one thing I will never do is desrespect you instead I will celebrate the times you lived life not when your life ended.

I love you. Rest in Peace.

What was done to Ruben is exactly what Ruben and his gang did to others why would anyone feel bad about someone like Ruben his two baby girls were blessed the day he was killed because his life style would have gotten those little girls killed someone day. These morons decide to bring kids into this world living the thug life, that alone should be a crime, if your not willing to leave the gang life don't have kids and people like Ruben shouldn't be allowed to live now his killer will be killed it goes on goes and on keep at it morons.

Albert, that comment was kind of mean. This blog is to convey the good thoughts of gang-bangers, not to worry about all the people's lives who they made miserable. So the people who lived near the gang-banger were residing in dread and fear, feeling powerless in their own communities, unsafe in their own beds? That doesn't matter now. The only thing that matters now is that he was a great guy, a good father and loved his homies and family. He's resting now in the gangsta section of heaven. Free beer, free blunts, free cans of paint to tag their area. Paradise.

Well let me see, I have 2 kids and no I don't gang bang never did and never will, life is too short to waste with gangbanging, so no I'm not like the victim in fact I served my country for 10 years and proud of it at least I'll die with honor can't say the same for the victim.
