Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti says he is authorizing the city's Department of Water and Power to shut down utilities at locations that have hosted big gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Los Angeles police Lt. Chris Ramirez said Tuesday that the shooting was being treated as"gang-related.". Before the shooting in the Beverly Crest neighborhood, police had received calls about a party taking place near the shooting scene around 6:30 p.m. Monday.that officers helped with traffic and parking control but did not enforce the county's health order prohibiting large gatherings during the pandemic.
Law enforcement agencies in California, including Los Angeles police, have generally opted for"education" over action against people not keeping social distance or those who refuse to wear masks in public."It was a private party. It was indoors. How do you enforce the fact it's a private party? And If the city attorney wants to, we can always file additional complaints," he said.
Garcetti's authorization to cut off water and power at party locations fell short of ordering police to shut down big gatherings they come across.The directive, which has a 48-hour window for utilities to be turned off, is aimed at locations that repeatedly violate the prohibition on large gatherings, he said.
Organizers could be gone by then: Garcetti acknowledged that such events often take place at homes offered up as short-term rentals.Minyvonne Burke
