Hawkins is also facing one count of possession of a handgun by a felon.STOCK PHOTO/Getty Images
Both Hawkins and Carter were convicted in 2013 for assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, according to the district attorney's office. Police in Gardena, where the incident occurred, said that Carter was waiting in the parking lot of Hawkins to get off work. She had been armed with a handgun and pointed a gun at Lewis, causing the fight to end, police said.
Hawkins shot Lewis with his own firearm, according to police. Los Angeles County Fire responded to the scene and pronounced Lewis dead.Both are scheduled to return on Friday to Los Angeles County Superior Court. There were no attorneys listed for Hawkins or Carter on the Los Angeles County Superior Court's website.
Roger52085152 realDonaldTrump are you now legitimizing this craziness? I thought you were with us, but we are going to be persecuted even more now just for not being mask wearing sheep. TrumpGivesIn TrumpInMask trump2020
Maybe he believed his life was in danger because that asshole refused to wear a mask. Isn't that how it works? Where's this security guard's qualifiedimmunity? Hmm, let me guess. The security guard is a black man? AttorneyCrump BLM ACLU fuck12 California blacklivesmatter
What a ridiculous security guard 🤦🏽♀️
If you have a gun you will use a gun. There are too many people walking around with guns. Oh and wear a damn mask!
People just going crazy
The family of the deceased man should be taking ownership of the market soon. How do convicted felons become security guards? Negligence.
HUGE MISLEADING HEADLINE!!! Ridiculous!! Shameful!! Propaganda at its highest level.
Told ya
Damn you better wear a mask in that store.
It wasn’t just the mask... but the security guard did shoot him in the back. So that sounds pretty murderey
This is horrifying!!!
Back in the day there were signs saying “No shirt, no shoes, no service” or “Tie and jacket required”. The store, hospital, or restaurant have a right to make rules for entering their establishment. No mask, please leave, you are not welcome.
One fewer stupid republican. No great loss.
I wonder why there is no race listed we know the shooter is a black man so did he shoot another black man or did he shoot a Hispanic or a white man? oh it dont fit ABC or CNN narrative ao they will not tell you
They should of called a social worker Wake up people
Is this attributable to the president's stance on the wearing of masks ?
Look what you’ve done Karen
Oh hey guess what you forgot to include that theyre BLACK, yet if it was reversed: “white male security guard kills innocent bystander without a mask.”
Security guards don’t usually carry guns.....especially in a blue state. Sounds flimsy
What color was the security guard? You don't mention the race now?
I can't understand why people keep refusing to wear a fucking mask that only weight a few grams! On the other hand, security guards are only to observe, watch, and report, don't play to be a police officer, if something happens call the police and let them deal with people. Easy.
What a horribly inaccurate headline. The media has turned into the Enquirer.
OMG! A black man killing a black man?!? Where's the justice? Where's blm?
Maga strikes again
“Masks, which some studies have proved may decrease the risk of COVID-19 transmission, have become a major source of contention for some during the pandemic.” Proved may? 🤔
2020: A non-stop party at ground zero.
Good to see dems policies of allowing felons in the work force paid off oh wait they didnt but im sure rleasing over 10,000 prisoners like the govonrer says will be just fine so long as they arent rleased near you.
abc. Please state the races involved
Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?
Oh god seriously. Read the report. The two had problems back in 2013. More than just because of not wearing a mask. Sadly the man that is now passed waited for the guard after work in 2013.
This guy Hawkins was no security guard, he was a felon with a gun, employed by the store. Felons are prohibited for life from owning a firearm by Federal law. But libs love love it 'cause they think it was over a mask. It wasn't. knew better, but caters to its sheeple.
Guess he should have gone home or donned a mask, he was the attempted murderer.
People are out of control
Sounds reasonable
Trolls out in full force. smh...
These Mask Nazis are under thought control. I swear if CDC told you to smear feces on your face to prevent Coronavirus you’d brain dead people would go along with it. People actually believe these frauds in the government making up rules with no scientific proof that masks work.
Cuase of death covid 19
Let’s just ignore the important part where the shooter was a felon who wasn’t legally allowed to own a gun. The comments here celebrating this murder because he wasn’t wearing a mask are absolutely despicable. I thought the left hated guns?
'Unarmed black man shot by convicted felon' is the proper headline and accurate story.
That’ll teach him!
😡
WTF? Mall security carries guns
Couple of real winners here; both are felons with guns.
He will be added to the died of Covid tally.
Psycho with a gun. Now he can spend the rest of his days in prison where dropping the soap is deadlier than this scamdemic.
I think you just broke the NRA . It short-circuited.
A bit over board.
they can charge security guards but not the fucken police.. fuck the police
Unbelievable. Neither the shooter or his wife should have had access to a gun since they were both felons. But criminals gonna criminal.
Unmasked Lives Matter
secjr112 Misleading headline
The security guard was a convicted felon?
Lol “so you think not wearing a mask isnt deadly?” *cocks glock*
The security guard is a convicted felon who can't own a gun.
He probably saved lives. Thank you to courageous guards everywhere!
Another example that shows where this senseless mask hysteria can lead. Those who want to wear a mask wear one, those who don’t, leave them in peace.
Natural selection running its course. They don’t want 2 wear a mask bc they’re 2 selfish, let what’s gonna happen eventually, happen sooner. I’m tired of having Trump/MAGA & the anti-science morons hold up progress bc they’re 2 selfish 2 do 1 simple thing 2 protect other ppl.
you never know.... wear it
Liberals are now the Nazis of our generation. It just got real.
Unreal.
There is more to this story. We need to see what happened before. I'm sure that man was no angel.
And it begins....
Thus proving that not wearing a mask can be deadly.
MAGA 🇺🇸🔥
If the Wuhan Flu won't kill you, Store Security will.
This world is out of control
partly his fault tbh
Masks are killing people
Yikes.
Oops
Security were afraid of their lives perhaps,killed an innocent Man. Zimmerman did it too, killing a Kid with Skidos and climes that he was standing on his ground and got acquitted!!! I wonder who made his Ground so special than ours. Hope the ill thinkers will not blame the dead.
Absolutely tragic. WeR now all no edge. What else n as we think bizarre behavior can one expect ?
Land of guns 🤷♂️
Someone’s going to prison.
Nice
Doesn’t have to wear now. Sad.
👏
Shooting someone for not having a mask on is not necessary WTF
This was black on black shooting
Slight overreaction.
Unmasked lives matter?
So now customers can be summarily executed if they don't have a mask on?
Give me freedom or give me death just got real.
Sounds like fascism to me.
Goddamnit. Now who’s gonna host the telethon?
Good job, mask Nazi's.
I will be your social media marketing manager. Check Here:
Must have death penalty for this nut!
Another covid death due to dem policies
Since you left of colors of perp and victim ill assume the shooter was other than white
Stupid rules have stupid consequences
You guys are kind of crazy down there
I’ll wait for the whole/real story. Not likely someone gets shot over a fkin mask
Yep seems reasonable..
Crazy leftists are going maskal. I am so frightened of deranged leftists
That seems extreme. Refuse service. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. Why is it so difficult for people to make a small effort so others feel safer?
And again, another incident with an unlicensed guard. Guardado and now this. Instead of hiring a reputable contract guard service, they hire these people illegally to save money, probably pay cash to avoid payroll taxes and insurance. Totally illegal.
Comply or die
This is what a communist state does. Any minute now The Squad will gleefully support this action.
Espero que esse policial seja preso e condenado por assassinato !
Oh for fucks sake. Demanding someone to wear one is one thing but to murder them bc they are not? No. Not okay. 😔
I sort of figured we’d start seeing this the other way around. Call the cops. Do your best to not let him in but shooting him?
Oh boy.. here we go😢
The security guard was right to turn him away, but wrong to shoot the guy while he was leaving. When two dumb-asses collide...
was the mall cop bats*t crazy? because that was bats*t crazy of them to do that over a mask.
if only we had some leadership, guidance, direction or common sense....
Hahahaha
Police state...yet no arrests made on the Vandals pulling down a Saint.
That is going over the top to shoot a person refusing to wear a mask.There are better methods to try than this.
The tragedy caused by the politicization of masks by the Democratic Party!
He should have just followed directions BlueLivesMatters
The moral of the story: If you don't wear a mask, you will be shot.
Inevitability.
Probably shouldn’t be hiring armed felons as security guards.
Defund the police! Disband Hamilton!! 1492 project!!!
The dead guy is he white? could be a racist crime!
Trump. will have all Americans including his white supporters dead!!before this is all over with keep watching folks.
So now it's a death sentence?
There you go.
I guess masks do save lives
Security guards with guns are trigger happy. Even the ones who aren't supposed to be armed like this felon. This is why security guards are usually not armed. There is a severe lack of training in this so called field. One you don't argue with anyone over anything. It was a mask.
The real story is not about a shooting, but about the fact the government created the environment which is spawning this kind of instability in the first place. Think the Government didn't anticipate this? What do you think Government think tanks actually do?
Why are felons hired as security guards?
Why r the Americans living at the edge of the sword? All along ive bn thinking that being in America is being in the world of full life. Why shd one be eager to terminate one's life over a mere mask?. Is America a shell of what we thought it is.
This is so wrong
Ppl should be thankful everyone not wearing a mask isn't getting shot.
Ex-felon security-guard shoots walking-away man in the back with a private weapon. 🙄 where to begin ...
Don't see the problem beyond the inconvenience to the security guard.
Nothing good happens in Gardena. It was a crap city in the early 80’s.
Now I believe everyone should wear a mask but
Well one way or another scofflaws are going to die.
You people are insane.
STOP THE INSANITY
Sounds appropriate
What is going on?! World is getting crazier by the day.
Lawyers, guns and money.... the shit has hit the fan
Anyone want to guess why their not blasting his picture all over the place?
BroncoBob360 I’m sure there is much more to it than that
Without a video, I don't believe your version of the story. There HAS to be more to the story.
How the hell is your subheading to this story 'Masks have become a source of contention during the pandemic.' After a man was murdered? You people are sick.
Wear a mask
Not a very good background check at all. SMH
They keep lighting the fuse. We keep blowing it out. At some point, we'll stop trying. Then, fight's on.
Hey this is a quote from your story “Masks, which some studies have proved may decrease the risk of COVID-19 transmission” Do you proofread? A study that proves something may happen doesn’t “prove” anything.
That hero probably saved a lot of lives
Holy shit now not wearing a mask is resulting in lethal force Better make a strong example out of this murderous security guard or this trend will continue unnecessarily
What is the while story please,
i submit self defense, the maskless nutter was a weapon and an attempted murderer
The security guard is a felon who’s not allowed to have a gun? Did not see that coming.
Why is there no reporting on Portland Oregon mayhems
'Lewis eventually returned to the market and fought with Hawkins, who then allegedly shot the victim as he walked away, according to prosecutors. ' OOF. No self-defense excuse there, that is straight up 2nd degree murder.
What are they always saying, just follow the rules? Should have just complied and nothing would have happened
Judging by the videos out here I would say he was probably attacked by an angry maga chud. Those people freak the f out when they are told to wear a mask. Self defense.
Should not have returned to the store to pick a fight with an armed security guard. Lesson of the day wear a mask and stay alive
Why would you arrest a man for doing his job Security ?
Proof that wearing a mask can save your life.
Love the responses of shoulda worn a mask. You are the lefts equivalent to the George Floyd folks saying shouldn't have broke the law.
The security guard feared for his life, he should have just followed orders 🤷♂️🤦♂️
a preview of what things will look like under democrats....
Wait. So the security guard was a felon who couldn't have a gun? And where the hell did his felon WIFE come from?-
So, the victim was in the wrong, but the security guard, and his wife, are both convicted felons, illegally armed, and their previous convictions were violent. An incident just waiting to happen.
You are living in one of the hotspots. Wear a mask.
He should’ve complied. If they comply, they would be fine. Isn’t that the narrative?
Well you keep telling people that not wearing a mask is potentially fatal to those around you so i guess technically this was self defense!
Karen with a gun?!? Run!
He caused a fuss because he refused to wear a mask, got mad and left, then cane back fight some more. Little more to it than your headline claims.
And here it comes, all the craziness!!!
Well on the bright side he probably would have eventually ended up passing on COVID and killing off others down the chain of transmission. His death likely SAVED lives!
If he had complied he’d be fine! Probably had a criminal past! Probably smoked weed once!
🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Wild West
He should have worn a mask 🤷♀️
Why was he charged? Cause his badge isn't plastic? Is that why? Weird..weird how it's a different standard
well, this is truly a man bites dog twist, isn't it?
And more where that comes from
I also refused.
