Westwood, Los Angeles, CA —A deadly dispute between two engineering Ph.D   eggheads at the UCLA   campus yesterday was turned into an unnecessary and obscene military commando exercise by authorities.   UCLA Police   officers  immediately responded to a shooting scene and found two dead males.   They appeared to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds from a low powered handgun and a recently fired 9MM pistol lay nearby.   Additionally there was a suicide note that made this somewhat clear to be an isolated Murder/Suicide event.   What followed was nothing less than what we’d expect from an out-of-control fascist government.   The authorities turned this into a massive training exercise that disrupted and disturbed the entire region. SWAT teams were summoned from every department surrounding the area.   FBI, Homeland Security and the BATFE joined in the raiding party.   A chance to test their inter-agency radio communic...

Andrea "Andy" DelVesco, UCLA coed Murder Victim Dimitry Gorim  represented  Alberto Medina     Steven Cron  represented  Eric Marques   Los Angeles, CA —This was the initial appearance bail hearing for the two men arrested for killing Andrea “Andy” DelVesco . It began with an announcement by the judge that there would be no photography, video or sketching in court.    Additionally that much of the evidence offered by the DA was privately discussed in judicial chambers and would be sealed. Both defendants had top gun, privately retained defense lawyers.   Dimitry Gorim represented Alberto Medina and Steven Cron represented Eric Marques .    Hiring these lawyers involves paying a very large retainer up front.   Only a partial story was revealed by the prosecutor and many more questions remained unanswered.   These are simply allegations rather than proof.   Words never uttered in this proce...

Los Angeles, CA —I took an early interest in the case because of my closeness to past and present UCLA students and alumni.  It was about 7:00 AM when LAFD emergency vehicles came screaming to the Scene midblock at 10900 Roebling adjacent to the UCLA Campus. It was a lucky break that some of the students there were awakened by screams and fellow residents were up trying to combat the fire with a fire extinguisher on the first floor, Eastern side of the complex.   That was the residence of UCLA Spanish and Psychology major, Andrea “Andy” DelVesco .     Andy was an active member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority.   Some of the more observant kids present were able to tell the firemen that Andy was unaccounted for and they began an aggressive search.   They found Andy badly burned and beyond all medical aid.   Some 30 firefighters were able to contain the blaze within ten minutes. Thankfully no others suffered injuries considering this was early ...

I'm  Los Angeles, CA —Students will be sleeping easier tonight after police announced the arrests of two 22-year old Hispanic men for killing Andrea "Andy" DelVesco.   Alberto Madina and Eric Marquez are in custody at the Van Nuys Jail.   This is sure to be a “special circumstance” case meaning prosecutors can ask for the death Penalty.   Yet to be offered by police is the motive however the drug selling connection is sure to be playing a part in this investigation. the DelVesco girl and her two alleged killers showed promise as students of making great contributions to our world.  However now we have three young lives destroyed because of our insane Drug War.  How many more killings must we tolerate until we end this madness? We need to redirect our efforts to treat thoes addicted.  

Los Angeles, CA- -The 19000 block of Roebling Avenue is inhabited by hundreds of young role models of society.   They are the best and brightest that are selected to attend prestigious UCLA . The sprawling UCLA campus and surrounding area is well protected by both the UCLA Police and the LAPD .   The neighborhood for the most is a safe place for these kids. In Westwood tonight there is one less special undergraduate senior and her name is Andréa “Andy” DelVesco .   She was a member of the pi Beta Phi Sorority and worked at the on Campus Jamba Juice franchise. This young and attractive Austin, Texas native had been studying Spanish and psychology at this  renowned  university. This morning many of her young friends were huddled together just outside the yellow police crime scene tape in tears after learning about this unspeakable crime. I can’t imagine what horror and emotional trauma Andrea’s parents are experiencing tonight.   ...

Los Angeles, CA —On a quiet Sunday Morning my little drone took a ride above Westwood area of Los Angeles.   The video shows the Southern portion of the UCLA campus, Wilshire Blvd and beyond.   On the West you can see the Veteran’s Cemetery, The VA Hospital and the 405 Freeway.     Unfortunately because of the terrific music attached this cannot be seen in Europe.
