Rosemead: May 2008 Archives
From Reporter Dan Abendschein:
ROSEMEAD-- A Rosemead man was stabbed to death in his home early Monday morning.
Alfonso Castro, 51, was found by police after someone made a 911 call requesting help at his home, said Sheriff's Deputy Denise Fuchs.
The stabbing occurred around 12:30 a.m. at Castro's home in the 3200 block of Burton Avenue, said Fuchs. Castro was found with multiple stab wounds to the upper torso.
The home showed signs of forced entry, but Fuchs said police do not yet know if killing happened as part of a home-invasion robbery or if the killers had other motives.
This is an excerpt of a Brian Day story running in tomorrow's newspaper. I think it enhances my theory that the world has turned into a giant game of Grand Theft Auto IV:
Three recent video game store robberies in which thieves seemed more interested in games, not cash, might be connected, authorities said Tuesday.
Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Major Crime Bureau are investigating a possible link between robberies at GameStop locations in Rosemead, Pico Rivera, and Bellflower that occurred between April 22 and Sunday, officials said.
The most recent incident was at a Rosemead GameStop store, located at 3000 San Gabriel Blvd., said sheriff's Sgt. Tri Hong.
Four robbers stole six PlayStation 3 video game systems and fled, said store manager Jovan Sanchez.
At least one handgun was used in the crime, Hong said.
Sanchez described the robbers as well-mannered and who said "please" as they demanded the video game systems.
Jennifer McLain will be reporting this story later today:
A burlgary ring that involved dozens of homes and a victim who was fired on by a suspect was broken this week. The Temple City's Sheriff's Department arrested four people, including one female, who were led the ring. The woman was arraigned today at the Alhambra Courthouse.
Jen says the ring was operating in Rosemead, Monterey Park and Temple City. More on this as it becomes available.
