October 4, 2021: 3 Charged in Connection With Execution of Law Enforcement Officers in Little Seoul

 

Los Santos County Deputy District Attorney Mallory Collins announced that three men were arraigned for their alleged roles in the execution of three metropolitan SWAT officers.

 

Francisco Bartolome, Jacob Gamboa and Vincente Saenz were charged in case CF 503-21 with three counts each of first-degree murder and possession of unlicensed firearms. Both Bartolomo and Gamboa are alleged to be gang members.

 

On September 12, police officers Darnell Walker, Maya Valerio and Arturo Vasquez of the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) were patrolling in the Little Seoul area when they heard several gunshots in a nearby street. The trio headed to the location and witnessed a group of armed suspects (these who are not being judged in this specific case) breaking into a car. After an intense chase, the current defendants supposedly appeared in the situation and surprised the victims from behind, opening fire. This conflict resulted in the death of the three mentioned officers. Suspects would only be taken into custody later.

 

"The Special Prosecutions Bureau has decided to bring the full weight of the justice system on these individuals, whom do not even deserve to be named. These men committed a senseless act and executed three SWAT officers, who respond to threats daily in this city; whom put their lives in danger daily in order to protect law and order in Los Santos," Deputy District Attorney Mallory Collins said. "This senseless act of murder took the lives of heroes whom regularly risk their own lives for a better cause. The District Attorney's Office will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law not only for the sake of justice, but closure for the family of those officers and to set a precedent; if you kill police officers the District Attorney's Office will not hesitate to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."
