Thursday, June 21, 2001 LAPD Officer Is a Suspect in Slaying Crime: He is in custody on drug charges. Man's fatal stabbing took place in December.
By SCOTT GLOVER, MATT LAIT, Times Staff Writers
>A Los Angeles police officer arrested earlier this month on federal cocaine charges also is a suspect in the stabbing death of a 23-year-old man who police said was followed home and attacked after a dispute at a popular restaurant last December.
>Officer Ruben Palomares, 31, has been implicated in the slaying of Erick Mendoza by a co-defendant in the cocaine case--who also allegedly was at the scene of the slaying--according to police sources and confidential police documents.
***I think this is the same one arrested ..YES, it is! ...they kept this under wraps for a long time without informing the public.
>Rulon said two suspects--Alvin Moon and Gabriel Loaiza--are in custody on cocaine charges in San Diego along with Palomares.
>Two more men--Oscar Loaiza and a man identified only as "Manny"--remain at large, Rulon said. Police are seeking the public's assistance in determining their whereabouts.
>The allegations against Palomares are the most serious criminal accusations to be leveled against an LAPD officer since the so-called Rampart corruption scandal broke in September 1999 with the admissions and allegations of former LAPD Officer Rafael Perez.
>Most of the officers who so far have faced administrative or criminal charges have come under scrutiny as a result of allegations connected to their work as officers. The murder investigation of Palomares, by contrast, grows out of an alleged off-duty altercation that ended with a young man bleeding to death in the front seat of his car.
>Earlier Allegations of Corruption Even before his arrest on the drug charges and the allegations of murder, (((Palomares had been identified by Perez as being "in the loop" of allegedly corrupt cops assigned to the Rampart Division.)))
>Perez, who was cooperating with authorities after his own arrest on drug charges, told investigators nearly two years ago that Palomares and his then-partner, Frank Galindo, (((were involved in an unjustified shooting in 1998 that they covered up.))) That shooting remains under investigation by the FBI and the LAPD. At the time of his San Diego arrest, Palomares was assigned to the Northeast Division.
>The latest accusation against Palomares comes from one of his alleged partners in the deal to buy 10 kilograms of cocaine from federal undercover agents on June 8.
>That co-defendant, whose name is being withheld at the request of authorities, told investigators that (((((he had participated in several drug rip-offs and residential robberies with Palomares and others.)))))
OH?! and where did they dump the other bodies, in Tiajuana?
WHO SHOT NIGG? WHO STABBED NICOLE AND RON? WHO STABBED CANTOR.
>((((Oscar Loaiza, he said, then pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed the victim, who sustained injuries to his face, neck, chest, back and thigh.))))
***If this doesn't sound like Ron Goldman's death, nothing else will.
>The next morning, a neighbor found Mendoza's body slumped in his car, (((a trail of blood leading down the driveway to the street.)))
***Here is that TRAIL OF BLOOD!
>(((A Sourdough Jack sandwich with a single bite out of it was lying on the car's console.)))
***Here is that menu under Nicole's foot!
SHADES OF BUNDY!!!!!!
>By interviewing witnesses and viewing security camera videotapes, the officers (((were able to place Mendoza and the suspects at the restaurant at the same time.))) One witness told police that he had seen the argument between Palomares and Mendoza. Another told officers that he watched the (((black SUV))) that Palomares and the others were in follow Mendoza's BMW out of the parking lot, according to sources and documents. Sources said police havev since obtained physical evidence from the SUV, which they believe links the suspects to Mendoza's slaying.
***HERE THEY COULD COMPARE THE KNIVES AND I BET THEY MATCH THE WOUNDS OF NIC AND RON.
>I'll bet they hang out in Gymn too. Ennis Cosby never had a chance. Check out Mr. muscle brained moron wrestler. Wouldn't a wrestler be very strong? Wouldn't they be able to pit up against a healthy strong karate expert? Wouldn't they know each other from the gym? Didn't Ennis attend a gym before he was killed? Followed maybe? How hard could it be to cause a flat tire with a little knife stab?
