Prelim in Monrovia shooting underway

The shooting of 17-year-old Davien “Day Day” Graham got underway in Alhambra Tuesday with some chilling testimony from “Day Day,” who recalled hearing someone holler a gang slogan before opening fire.

As a result of the shooting, Graham was paralyzed. The attack was part of a string of shootings that plagued Monrovia in December and January.

This from Fred Ortega, who attended the hearing for 19-year-old Jimmy Santana of Duarte, a suspected member of the Monrovia Nuevo Varrio 13 gang. Graham is black, Santana is Latino. Much of the violence has stemmed from an apparent race war, officials say.

He described how he was riding his bike back home from the dairy on Jan. 12 in unincorporated Monrovia when a burgundy compact rolled up slowly behind him.
I heard someone say Hey fool, (expletive) Dirt Rock, and then he started shooting, said Graham, whose 17th birthday was on Monday. Dirt Rock in a derogatory term for the Du-Rock Crips, a Duarte-based black gang.

  1. that boy deserved what happended to him. After they get attack they act all good but he was one of those fake clamiers. always throwing up dirtroc at everyone and banging it well thats what you get for doing things your not supposed to

  2. This is to Monrovia’s comment. Day-Day is a nerd. If anything you guys should go after the real gangsters why target someone you call fake? He is and always will be a good kid. So if someone is claiming MNV and are fake it is ok for someone from Duarte to shot them in the back? Cowards shot someone in the back. Real OG’s face thier target head-on. How many times did you see him with his pants below his ass? Not once. He goes to church and he cleans it up. How may gangsters do you see cleaning up the church or even going to one? None that I know of. I hope they give that guy life with out visitation. Lets see how hard he is without a gun behind the prison walls. County jail ain’t shit what will he do in the pen? Be someones punk.
