A woman found dead in a Pasadena park this week has been identified as an outreach worker at homeless encampments, authorities said.
The victim had injuries “consistent with an assault,” said Pasadena police Lt. Carolyn Gordon. Detectives have a “very strong lead that they’re following up on,” she added, though she could not provide details.Ledford was an outreach worker at Union Station Homeless Services, said Sarah Tower, chief program officer at the Pasadena nonprofit.
Other co-workers described Ledford as “compassionate and kind.” They said she had moved from North Carolina back to her home state of California about three years ago and served as lead outreach worker for a multi-disciplinary team that included a caseworker, a medical specialist and a substance abuse or mental health specialist.
So sad. Expect more of this as some local governments try and replace police officers with defenseless social workers.
This woman’s Blood is on the hands of the defund the police movement and its supporters. Mayor Garcitti is replacing police officers with “Safety Ambassadors”, it all doesn’t make any sense.
This is so horrible. She was a hero among us. My heart goes out to those who loved her.
Do you think if dakotacdsmith isn't too busy sucking the mayor's ccck that she could do some actual 'journalism' and ask him if this is what Angelenos can expect from his moves to defund the police?
wow
