LA Times  

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore announced charges Tuesday against three out-of-town gang members accused of fatally shooting an off-duty Los Angeles police officer at a taco stand during a 90-minute crime spree in northeast Los Angeles last month. Facundo fired the fatal shot that killed Officer Juan Diaz, Moore said. Billy Hayes, the head of the Robbery-Homicide Division, said investigators tied the group to the crime spree with surveillance video, witness statements and forensic evidence. Shortly after midnight on July 27, the three suspects and another 21-year-old woman from Los Angeles vandalized a vehicle owned by a former boyfriend on Avenue 33 and later tagged a location on Eagle Rock Avenue, Hayes said.
