Los Angeles police on Tuesday identified a reputed gang member who was shot to death over the weekend on the streets of Canoga Park as Rogelio Ferman.
According to witnesses, Ferman, 23, was trying on Sunday to elude a pursuing Honda when he crashed his Nissan Maxima into a light pole near Winnetka Avenue and Roscoe Boulevard, Detective Rick Swanston said. Ferman was killed moments later when two men got out of the Honda and gunned him down as he sat in his car.
