Pizza fundraiser in Torrance for the Pick family
Rizzo's Pizzeria in Torrance is holding a fundraiser today to raise money for suriving members of the Pick family after a murder-suicide last week.The restaurant said it plans to donate 20 percent of its proceeds today to the Picks, and they are also taking cash donations in a collection box. Rizzo's is at 2350 Sepulveda Blvd. Suite G, a little more than a block east of Crenshaw Boulevard.
Steven Pick, 42, shot and killed his 5-year-old son, Tyler, and his 62-year-old mother-in-law, Janell Stern, at the family home in the 1900 block of 230th Street on April 28. He also shot and wounded his wife before killing himself. He apparently was a drug abuser and had a history of verbally and physically abusing his wife, who had a restraining order against him.
