Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell, 69, was killed about 1 p.m. local time in a residential area of Hacienda Heights, Calif., about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
“We can only imagine how the community is suffering because of this senseless murder,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. “Bishop O’Connell was a guiding light for so many, and his legacy will continue to live on through the community that he helped build.”No one was in custody in the killing as of Sunday afternoon, and a motive was unclear. Falcon said there was no danger to the public.
Catholics gathered Saturday evening near the scene of the shooting, where they clutched candles and prayed the Hail Mary, according to. A flier posted next to caution tape contained the eternal rest prayer for the dead and a message of love for O’Connell. “I’ve been part of the people’s lives, and been there during the suffering of the young people who have lost their lives so many times, but I haven’t had any problems,” O’Connell

He was. A very good and humbled person ,sorry how they end it him it unfair .
This is truly heartbreaking. 🕯️🙏🏽
Murdered by a “Carlos Medina.” Is anyone even surprised at this point? Of course it’s a “Carlos Medina.”
😥
'A heart for the poor and a dick for the young ' sounds more believable
💔💔💔💔💔
All part of God’s plan….right?
I hope he was a good man, but his death is no more important than any other person that died that night. This pedestal should be permitted to no one. Where is the story of the homeless that died that night ?
“was especially called to minister to migrants, the poor and those involved in gang violence” - I think he knew his assailant
🙏🙏🙏
Have they checked former altar boys?
or a child he molested grew up and couldn’t deal with the horror of what that priest did to him!
was probably the parent of some child he molested!!
mbird12 Bishop Dave, Aloha RIP
devil gangs doing these shootings?
It says that he was shot at he lived on Janlu Avenue in a home owned by the archdiocese. Priests don't have their own home secondly, he helped people form the community. Tho he 'He often paid for unaccompanied minors to attend Catholic schools...' The investigation is homocide!
LA has some strict gun laws !
🥹
🙏🙏🙏
Gotta be more to the story.
Shot to death in his own home at 1 pm in the afternoon. That's where we are right now as a country. It's heartbreaking and it's sickening. It's revolting. And we're going to continue to lose more and more people so unjustly until we do something about it.
Sounds like LA is the place to be, great job California, you're doing a bang up job running the dump.
One less pedophile👍
Crime wave continues. So very sad. Not a good way to go.
And probably out on cash-less bail already walking the streets.
The US is a joke now
What a shame

This country needs more guns like it needs a hole in its head! Something is terribly wrong in this country and it has to be dealt with asap! Our fragile republic is now teetering on collapse and a potential revolution; the divisness and acrimony cannot continue!
Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, earth and sea, because the devil has come down to you. He is filled with rage, for he knows that his time is short.
Here what Democrats will do: blame the gun, ignore the crime. This is another chance for Democrats to push anti-gun narrative.
A MAGA Fascist comes to mind as A PRIME SUSPECT!!!
Why is this just now news? Lousy reporting everybody
I said it before . The murder, violence and corruptions in the USA is unprecedented and the USA is mirroring the murder, violence and corruptions of 3rd World and many South American Countries USA CITIZENS and WASHINGTON DC MUST TAKE ASAP action to stop it.Mark😢😢😢
Apparently God loves you but not enough to take a bullet. 🤷♂️
He's with God now - no worries.
God Bless Bishop David O'Connell. This is so sad.
What?
Requiescat In Pace. A v fine student and product of one of the great missionary colleges of old Europe, and a keen student of Newman at AHC, Bp Dave was a fine advert for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and he practised much of the spirituality of Bp Oscar Romero. Sorely missed.
Fr. Ted was right
God Bless him
catch them and use them for live shark bait
Many in the Biden administration have had vile, inflammatory anti/Christian tweets the past 2 years. This type of hatred is spawning a race/religion war on our streets. Clean your house Joe Biden.
The Devil and his followers are busy destroying what is sacred.
