The shooting of a California teenager by a school safety officer is now a homicide investigation, police say.
Manuela “Mona” Rodriguez, 18, was taken off life support on Tuesday, more than a week after officials said Long Beach Unified School District safety Officer Eddie F. Gonzalez fired at a car she was in.
Police said Rodriguez knew the girl and had allegedly started the fight. When Gonzalez intervened, Rodriguez jumped in a car occupied by two others whom authorities said were"also involved in the assault." "All the Doctors and Nurses of Long Beach Memorial Hospital on Mona's floor gave a Hero's Celebration to Mona by standing in the hallway as Mona was taken to the operation while her favorite song was played — 'Letter to my son' by Skeezy and the song was replayed over and over during the operation to donate her organs to five people," her family said.
