https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/public-safety/2020/08/30/whistleblower-testifies-deputy-who-shot-gardena-teen-was--chasing-ink--The deputy who shot and killed 18-year-old Andres Guardado outside a car shop in Gardena was a prospective member of a violent clique inside the Compton Sheriffs station, according to the sworn testimony of a whistleblower.
Miguel Vegas attorney did not respond to a request for comment but the law firm working with Guardados family, Panish Shea and Boyle LLP, confirmed they are looking into the allegations.
It is very disturbing to say the least that gangs are commonly known to exist within the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. These reports go to the heart of our concerns that the Sheriffs Department promotes and harbors a culture of violence against the public. Make no mistake, we have every intention of conducting a thorough investigation into the potential involvement of any Sheriffs Department gang in the shooting of Andres Guardado.
More than a dozen deputies have matching tattoos and belong to a violent clique called the Executioners at the station, according to Deputy Art Gonzalez, who filed a whistleblower complaint regarding the Executioners in June.

ALL OF THEM, but still do a thorough investigation and charge them accordingly. There is no place for them in law enforcement.
