friday morning. i m carley shimkus. i m ashley strohmeyer in for todd piro. he was out on probation thanks to gascon s policies. the new york post is reporting that the d.a. might actually pay for that gang member s funeral after he was killed and the incident that claimed the lives of officers paredes and santana. [ sirens ] [ gunfire ] we are speaking with an attorney who says gascon flat out murdered the officers. first, jackie ibanez is breaking down all the details of this story. well, the attack leaving 42-year-old corporal michael paredes and joseph santana dead, both leave behind wives and children. the heartbroken family of officer santana is speaking out and blaming los angeles d.a. george gascon. gascon is just letting all these criminals out, and they just keep doing one crime after the other. that guy should have been in jail. if he wouldn t have been out, my son and the other officer would still be here. now we re just left to suffer. they re they re c
up and i was heavy into drugs and gang banging and ruining my life so i figured if i can be a role model for each one of them, they are going to grow up and learn coping skills to deflect from that lifestyle. how bad was life for you growing up? i grew up in a dysfunctional family where if you were gang banging or using substances, you are not part of the family. a lot of abuse, a lot of total disarray and i was jumped into a gang by family members when i was 13. how long were you in the gang? we met about 16 years, i went down a path of destruction. i went to jail, prison, doing every drug under the sun to kind of numb myself i guess you could
