Pasadena : No Prosecution in Death
- Share via
The U.S. Justice Department has told city officials that it will not file criminal charges in the death of Robert Earl Holloway, who died Jan. 18, 1990, after a struggle with security guards at a Northwest Pasadena housing project.
Pasadena city directors last year asked the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to investigate the death of the 28-year-old Holloway for possible criminal prosecution of King’s Villages security guards. The commission referred the matter to the Justice Department. Linda K. Davis, a Justice Department attorney in Washington, said the guards acted appropriately and did not use excessive force.
