The shooting occurred at about 11:20 p.m. Friday in a residential neighborhood in the 700 block of South McDonnell Street, said sheriff's Lt. Mark Richards of the East Los Angeles station.
Jessy Acosta, 15, of Los Angeles, died near the intersection of Whittier Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, according to a Los Angeles County coroner's investigator.
A video crew at the scene reported that dozens of high school-aged kids
were witnesses to the shooting in the residential neighborhood. They were taken

Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

handling matters with weapons and or guns is not manly, but for cowards like in this matter, its too easy to think people can get away with this type of cowardly acts, murder- eventually who ever is responsible for this kids life will get caught and placed behind bars , we all have laws that we need to follow in society and unfortunatly some feel they are above the law - god forgive you!!
