Sometimes They Police Themselves

Montecito Heights, CA

Choose one option below that best completes the following sentence fragment: "Witnesses said the man was acting strangely,..."
a) "...repeating phrases in Spanish including "I'm looking for death"."
b) "...pacing with a machete in front of a pay phone."
c) "...before being gunned down in a drive by shooting."
d) All of the above.

A 31-year-old man was seen ranting in front of a payphone in Montecito Heights, waving a machete around (he had another one with him) and generally carrying on. So the locals took it upon themselves to make him stop.

...witnesses told police that they saw a gray Honda four-door sedan pull up to the sidewalk near the phone, then heard multiple shots and saw the victim drop to the ground. Morris said witnesses saw a Hispanic male with a shaved head climb into the passenger side of the car before it sped away.
As usual, no one's coming forward.
