PACOIMA : Rally Cheers Arrest of 2 in Gang Slaying of Girl, 12
Relatives and neighbors of Tiffany Dozier, a 12-year-old Pacoima girl killed by gang gunfire last week, rallied against gang violence Tuesday at the youth club where she was slain and cheered news that Los Angeles police had arrested two suspects in the case.
Tremayne Stevenson, 19, and a 17-year-old whose name was not released were arrested Monday night on suspicion of murder, Deputy Chief Mark A. Kroeker announced to more than 300 people gathered in a gym at the Boys & Girls Club in Pacoima.
The pair--both from North Hollywood--were found driving a car fitting the description of one used in last Saturday’s drive-by shooting, which took place in front of the club after a dance ended, police said. Investigators are seeking at least one more suspect.
At the rally, residents called for more police to be deployed in the area.
