After L.A. County prosecutors decided not to try him as an adult in a 2018 murder, Denmonne Lee responded well to programs in juvenile halls. He started attending community college and found a job. But now he's been arrested in a second killing.
Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón's reform-minded outlook on juvenile justice seemed made for someone like Denmonne Lee. When he was 16, Lee took part in an Antelope Valley gas station robbery that ended in the death of former Marine John Ruh. Lee, who was acquainted with the victim, had planned the 2018 robbery and provided a weapon to his co-defendant, according to court records. Although Lee wasn't the shooter, he was charged with murder.
'When I catch that b—, I'm gonna shoot that b— right between her eyes.' Cady said her bid to stop the case from being moved to juvenile court failed, and prosecutors did not proceed with witness-tampering charges related to the video. A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office declined to comment on the tampering allegation or the video.
