Grandmother won’t rest until killers of her grandson are found

A grandmother mourns the death of her grandson. “I can’t just let it pass while his killers are still free,” she laments. “There was no reason for him to die. Jonathan was only 17 years old.”
On Aug. 20, 2008 at approximately midnight Jonathan Muse was riding his bicycle on Pioneer Boulevard under the 91 freeway overpass when he was shot and killed by unknown suspects. According to his grandmother, he was killed by gang members. {{more}}
She related how last year, on the anniversary of her grandson’s death, family members put together a small memorial at the site, which included flowers, a poster and candles. A car pulled up, and several men, who she described as gang members knocked away the small memorial they had set up in her grandson’s memory, ripped apart the poster, then got into their vehicle and drove away.
“All I get from the sheriff is they are working on it,” she said. “No one seems to care,” she said. When I asked the sheriff I’m told they’re working on the case, but have nothing new to report. It’s not right,” she added.
Detective R. Hernandez told the LCCN the case is not closed and they are working on it. He said the boy died from a drive-by shooting from a rival gang of the Artesia gang He said the boy was dressed in clothes similar to a gang member and that probably was why he was killed.
