Jazzmize Walsh Investigation

On Thursday, July 25, 2013, at approximately 6:20 a.m., Long Beach Police responded to a shots fired call in the 500 block of Walnut Avenue.  When officers arrived, they discovered Jazzmine, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body, lying in the courtyard of an apartment complex.  Long Beach Fire Department paramedics responded and pronounced her deceased at the scene.

The preliminary investigation indicated that Jazzmine had arrived at the home of relatives to drop off her 3-year-old son.  She had walked back out of the residence and it was during that time that she was shot. 

Through further investigation, detectives learned that Jazzmine had been the victim of a crime in Los Angeles earlier that morning when someone unknown, pulled up to her in a vehicle while she was seated on a bus bench, and pointed a gun at her.  No shots were fired and the suspect fled the location.  The L.A.P.D. concluded their report, and took Jazzmine and her child to a police station where she could safely wait for a ride home. A 16-year-old female friend went to the police station to pick-up Jazzmine and her son.  After arriving in Long Beach about one hour later, Jazzmine was shot and killed in front of her grandparents’ home after she had gone back out to the car the 16-year-old was driving to retrieve her son’s diaper bag.

Long Beach Police homicide detectives learned that 30-year-old Jason Haggerty of Los Angeles, had conspired with the 16-year-old female friend to pick-up Jazzmine and take her to her grandparents’ house, where he was lying in wait to commit the murder. Through the course of their investigation, detectives learned that Haggerty was facing a probation violation that he blamed on Jazzmine, and this was the motive for the murder. It was determined that Haggerty and the female juvenile were friends of Jazzmine.

On Friday, September 6, Jason Haggerty, who was already in-custody on an unrelated matter, was transferred to L.B.P.D. custody and booked.  The 16-year-old was also taken into custody on Friday, September 6, 2013, at her home in Los Angeles. 

On Tuesday, September 10, 2013, the case were presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, who filed the following charges against both Jason Haggerty, and the 16-year-old female who is not being named due to her age:

-       Murder

-       Murder while lying in wait

-       Use of a firearm during murder

In addition, Haggerty is also facing the charge of:

-       Premeditated attempted murder

Haggerty has an extensive criminal history, which includes assaults, property crimes, narcotics violations, and fraud.  The female juvenile’s case, a resident of Los Angeles, was filed directly with the LA County District Attorney’s Office as an adult.

 

Who Am I? By Cesar Reyes Torres

      In life people will judge you, marginalize you, and downright think very little of you sometimes. Many people do this for many different reasons but the most common one is to simply hold some leverage over you and be able to look down on you and downgrade their opinion of you. If you show sentiment people can downgrade you as being weak and downgrade your strengths. Express emotion and people will downgrade you as unstable, or even go as far as to say that you need therapy. Unless you’re able to fuck every girl you see every other week, your manhood comes into question and you’re downgraded as a faggot. If a woman pursues a guy she’s downgraded as desperate.  If you are at peace with the station that you have found in life you can be labeled a coward, for lacking the courage to take on bigger challenges. If you take on bigger challenges people can call you ungrateful of what you have, and dismiss you as a greedy person. I can go on, but the overall point is that people will label and downgrade you. It’s not a matter of you letting them or not letting them, it’s a matter of whether or not you wear the label that they throw in front of you.

      Know who you are in the eyes of God and nobody will EVER EVER be able to downgrade you to anything less than what God created. You are the most beautiful of Gods creations. God provides the Sun and the rest of the stars, the ocean and the rain, the food that we grow and the flowers that bloom, but far more beautiful than any of those creations is the one that you see in the mirror.

      To say that God loves you is commonly heard and said. And although this is true, it is by no means an invitation or motivation to say to yourself or those around you, “Well I don’t give a shit what you think about me, or anybody thinks about me, because God loves me and that’s all that matters.” Yes, God does love you. But love cannot be used as a tool or privilege to marginalize or downgrade anybody’s thoughts. Because then you are doing the very thing that you didn’t want people doing to you.

 

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres “ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

      It is in the realization that God loves you, and that he has never created anything as beautiful as you, will never duplicate you, will never forget you, will never abandon you, will never love you less, will never sideline you, will never downgrade you, that you will find purpose and perspective in life . And it is in that purpose and perspective that you will find confidence, Joy, and compassion for others. And it is in that confidence, Joy, and compassion that you will find strength. And it is in that strength that any negative labels that others may want to pin on you will not stick to you as far as you are concerned. And while any and all opinions of you can be respected as much as all of God’s creatures should be respected, nobody knows you as clearly and perfectly as God does, he knows your past in detail, as well as your future, he knows your past going back generations as well as your future, through the moments you take your last breath on earth. And it is in knowing this truth that nobody will ever make you feel less than what you know you are. And when you ask yourself that  question, "Who am I?" you will be able to answer your self, who you truly are. God most beautiful creation.

 

 

Blue Jasmine (film critique). By Cesar Reyes Torres

Blue Jasmine is more of a quirky film than a comedy. It portrays the wealthy in this country for what they truely are. When you strip away there mansions, jewelry and all of there toys, what you are left with is sad empty people. Cate Blanchet's character really embodies everything the wealthy and powerful value. Sally Hawkins who plays her sister in the movie portrays a simple woman from the Bay Area with everyday real world problems. But despite not having been exposed to the level of pomp and wealth that her sister (Cate Blanchet) has, she still comes out with with the ability to carry her self with her head held high and with most of her dignity intact. This movie was a fun quirky movie to watch. I would not go as far as to call it a funny comedy, but I would call it a fun movie that was worth money. 

Materialism in life. By Cesar Reyes Torres

              You know its funny the lessons you learn, and how God chooses to teach them to you. How he puts things in your life to not only learn but think about for years, at the end of which it all comes down to one single thing that he wanted you to realise. This business card represents 8 years of my life. For four years I struggled and worked and struggled to be a new accounts representative. I wanted my own desk, and my own space. Then out of nowhere, from one short dark time in life that seemed eternal, God simply gave me everything I asked for and more. I had my own office, a desk and a company blackberry, and these material things represented something for me. It represented success, trust, and stability. And even though I worked for four years to get to where I am at, from one day to another I simply handed all of it back to the people who gave it to me. I’m transferring to a different department in the company that I work for, and I don’t need any of it anymore. Some people can look at me and think that I’m reading too much into it, but I don’t expect many people to understand. The lessons that God teaches are meant for you, not your friends, or family, just you. His way of teaching things will never lead you astray; he may not provide quick answers as quickly as today’s society’s timetable commands all questions to be answered in. But the lessons he teaches you, are everlasting ones that will test not only your patience, resolve and strength, but ultimately your faith, and lessons that you will not be able to unlearn and that will come in handy when evil tries to lead you astray. 

“In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,  for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your soul”-1 Peter 1:6-9

         

          To me being able to easily let go of those material things, says that they never really meant much to begin with. They are simply material things that are there, which is not to say that they were not useful. But as useful as a hammer is, it is still only just a hammer that can be destroyed. But your faith can be unbreakable, impenetrable; it can be the light that guides you through the darkest alleys, the fruit from where you eat and feel full and complete, and the only place where you can peacefully rest.

           

          To say that material things don’t mean much is a lesson that some people could easily tell me, “Well I could have told you that…” But why would you, and who really takes the time to teach you life lessons, aside from possibly your parents only when you are young and in need of basic guidance. But what happens when we are grown adults and basic guidance is no longer enough. It is in each of us a responsibility to seek out our holly father, and to learn the lessons of the day. For we are all God’s children and as his children we are all students in a lifelong class, so pay attention because there will be a test at some point in time. It is only through him that our faith will grow, and that our lives will be

enriched in ways that we may or may not see immediately. It is only through his teachings that our faith will be tested and be given the wisdom  to overcome anything. That continues to be my belief and part of the foundation of my faith.

Subway: Stories from behind the counter(Part 6)What goes around comesaround. By Cesar Reyes Torres

Repetition and routine can become hopeless after a while . But they do offer a certain safety net for you in regards to what you can expect for the day. At Subway repetition and routine are a constant guarantee. My routine at Subway consisted of opening the store, setting up the food, baking bread, and making sandwiches. But aside from the required tasks, I had developed a new sense of normalcy from the one that I had previously lost. 

I was dating Liz and I honestly thought I was making progress in that department, I was gonna ask her to be my girlfriend. Meanwhile Kay was making some very interesting friends in Long Beach. Kay was hanging around a lot with Moses, a new guy we hired. He was a pothead and had a real bad crystal meth addiction. But he knew how to make sandwiches and he did whatever we told him to do. If we needed someone to clean the toilet, or clean the trash cans, and sweep the sidewalk, we always asked him to do it. He and Kay started hanging out, probably because Moses smoked a lot of weed just like Kay. Kay introduced him to one of the tenants in the building that hooked him up with all of his weed. The guy that Kay knew was some big hippie guy who had been smoking since the 60s and only sold weed to a very specific clientele. And Kay was one of his clients. Moses in return introduced him to all of his friends, who for the most part were a bunch of Mexican gang members from the east side. At the time the gang members in question, who's official gang name I shall refrain from mentioning specifically, we're fighting with the asian gangs and the black gangs. So as long as Moses wasn't bringing any blacks or asians around they were cool with it. Kay now had friends that rolled in deep numbers, had guns and were not afraid to use them, and who respected Kay because they could tell he was street smart, he was down for what ever like they were, and he had some of the best weed they had ever smoke and he could get more of it. A guy like Kay is dangerous on his own, but when you add a group of other guys to him, that have no ambition in life and enjoy destroying everything around them because they live by the mentality, "I don't give a fuck", along with drugs and drug use. You create a very dangerous problem for someone. And unfortunately that someone became me to some extent.

In the fall of 2004, I was dating Liz and I was the assistant manager at Subway, I was dating a cute girl I had my own car, I didn't have to go to school since I dropped out of college and kept all the financial aid money in cash, and I felt like I was a big fish, even if it was in a small pond. But this new feeling of normalcy I had re-established  would not last.

Gossip is always a bad thing, but the most fucked up thing about it is that even if you don't believe what's being said sometimes, that shit lingers like a fucken fly you can't ever get rid of. Me and Kay ran the store on Ocean in downtown Long Beach, and he had his wife working in the Subway store on Broadway in downtown Long Beach. From time to time we would send them some of our staff to help cover their staff shortages. Everybody knew that I was going out with Liz a lot and that I was sweat on her, and that I would give her a lot of slack even when she made mistake after mistake, and showed up late and Kay wanted to fire her about 3 times. One day we sent over a girl by the name of Cecilia to the broadway store, and while she was there she went on a rant, complaining to one of the girls there, telling her that I let Liz do whatever she wanted. What Cecilia apparently didn't know was that she was actually talking to Kay's wife, and that I talked to Kay's wife almost every day whenever I would go to Kay's house to play play station. But that fact that she said that wasn't what bothered me, because it was all basically true. What pissed me off was when she said that she asked Liz if her and me were dating, and that apparently Liz said "Fuck no!!! If wants to take me out then that's fine, it's like whatever but I'm not going out with that ugly ass foo". When Kay's wife told me that. I felt about 2 inches tall. I felt embarrassed , sad, worthless, and at first I was in denial, but Cecilia had no reason to lie, and neither did Kay's wife. So I did what any immature impulsive 19 year old Subway assistant manager would do, I got angry and I got even. 

Liz called me the next day, and I had to be honest with myself and admit that I could no longer look or talk to her the same way I did before. So I put a plan in motion and crossed my fingers that it would work out as I was planning it. While we were talking on the phone she asked me for her new schedule, and I told her she had to come the next day from 4 to close, even though she really had to come in from 11 in the morning to 4. So when 12 o clock came and we had a huge lunch rush and were short 1 person, Kay was pissed off, and luckily for me our general manager Patty showed up. Patty brought over some girl who helped us cover her shift and finish the lunch rush. But there was still the question of what to do with Liz. Patty and Kay called me into the office and went over her four write ups, and Kay asked me, "So what do you want to do about your girl?" So I grabbed a sharpee and I crossed her name off the schedule in front of them, and said "fire her ass". They both looked at me and were kind of surprised that I said it the way I did. But nobody argued my recommendation, Kay didn't want to hire her in the first place, and Patty had heard staff complaints and customer complaints about her, and I was angry and bitter over what she had said about me. When I started these stories I stated that working in fast food is all about who you know, and who you can afford to piss off and who you can't. Unfortunately for her, she pissed off the wrong person. She came in at 4 and Kay fired her. I didn't have the guts to do it myself, so he did me a favor and took care of it. He handed her a check and that was it. To my knowledge she never found out that I was the one behind her getting fired, and whatever I was to her just kind of faded away into nothingness which only confirmed that I didn't really mean shit to her anyway. 

What I didn't see at the time was that my decision to fire Liz had many un intended consequences coming my way. After that day, Kay kind of looked at me differently. I guess he didn't think I could be as cold blooded and fire someone who trusted me so much. And to be honest neither did I. But that was the least of my worries at the time. I was going to be confronted with with one of the toughest...
