Teen Avoids Gang Life, Only To Be Killed By It
By Mike Coleman
Shawn Ray was only 16 years old when he died. It was June 17, 2017. His mother, Janene Thomas, mourns his loss every single day.
"This is a kid,” she said. "What would y’all wanna hurt a kid for?"
LSPD’s East Bureau Criminal Gang Homicide Division had a busy night that night in East Los Angeles – at least three people were killed in gang-related shootings.
But for Ray, his family shared a Facebook post of his, written just three weeks before his murder. In it, he writes about his frustrations with the gang lifestyle he saw around him:
"Men life is crazy now of days people dieing people killing hoods going back nd force it’s not cool that’s somebody’s love one I watch this video on YouTube called (Why we bang). Nd that just made me look at this gangbanging life real different but most crazy part is u don’t know what u getting yo self into…. Intel it’d to late to get out of but once u start u can’t stop but remember u can always try to change that video really got a ***** up thinking we loosening family every day friends every day. But goodnight Facebook" (sic)
Ray was nine blocks from home the night he died, in the area of 54th street and Franklin Avenue. LSPD Detective Kendrick Maldonado said a gun found near his body was not the murder weapon, but investigators still caught the suspect Max Delso, 24, who is currently being charged.
"It’s unknown how he got here, but he ended up being shot in this driveway," Maldonado said, pointing up 54th Street where shell casings scattered across 40 feet. "We are quite sure it was a walk-up."
According to his plea agreement, Delso, a native of Los Santos, San Andreas, was a member of the 18th Street gang. The gang originated in the Los Santos, San Andreas area and operates or used to operate in 54th Street & Franklin. The gang is divided into subsets called cliques and operates according to rules that the gang enforces by punishment for their violation, including beating the violating gang member. Max Delso was a gang member of 54th Street Tokers. For serious transgressions, the gang will “green light,” or order, the murder of a gang member.
We all hurt and we wish it would stop," said Ray’s grandmother Emile Joy. Joy admits Ray was surrounded by gang culture in his life.
"He grew up with it in his family," she said.
His mother added, “Family of friends, his brothers, his dad. I got three boys. He was the baby boy."
But life was different for Ray. His family said he denounced the gang life, studied hard in school, prayed often at church and never left his mom’s side.
"He was a good kid!" Thomas cried. “I don’t understand why this happen to my baby!"
The pain creeps into the family’s life every day. "You don’t get over things like this, when all you have is memories, just pictures," his grandmother said.
The pictures that bring a spark of joy these days for Shawn's mom and grandma are of a little girl named Kathryn – Shawn didn’t live to learn he was about to be a dad.
"She makes me smile again,” his mother said. "Even though I know she’s not my son, I see my son in that baby."
