Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced on Tuesday that seven individuals have been indicted on charges related to a series of shootings that resulted in the deaths of seven people in the Los Angeles, Inglewood, and Compton areas over a span of approximately seven weeks.
The grand jury indictment accuses Cory Ervin, 30, and Kalil Santos, 22, of seven counts of murder each. These charges stem from the shooting deaths of two individuals at an RV park in South Los Angeles on December 6, 2021, a separate shooting at a gas station on East El Segundo Boulevard the day after (which left three victims alive), the killing of another individual near Compton on December 14, 2021, and the shooting deaths of four individuals during a birthday party in Inglewood on January 23, 2022, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
In addition, Ervin and Santos are facing seven counts each of attempted murder, along with five counts each of conspiracy to commit a crime, and two counts each of assault with an assault weapon, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Ervin is further charged with four counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, while Santos is charged with three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Other individuals facing charges include:
– Kendale Taylor, 24, who has been indicted on six counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder, and two counts of conspiracy to commit a crime.
– Marvin Linnear, 55, who is charged with three counts each of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm by a felon, two counts of assault with an assault weapon, and five counts of conspiracy to commit a crime.
– Kevin Salter, 21, and Terrence Adams, 33, who were indicted on two counts each of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm by a felon, four counts of conspiracy to commit a crime, and two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon.
– Semaj Brown, 25, who faces one count each of murder, attempted murder, assault with an assault weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
All seven defendants have entered not guilty pleas and are scheduled to appear in a Compton courtroom on September 13.
This case originated from joint investigations conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and Inglewood Police Department.
