Thoughts? While admittedly I don't have the utmost of sympathy when the murder victims is a gang member, this case is a lot different than your average gang shooting because Romero was already wanted for attempted murder of a police officer. This heightens the danger for everyone including the public and authorities. So if you see Romero, he should be considered armed and dangerous and you should take no action to apprehend him yourself. However, you should call the LAPD right away.
