Mayor Eric Garcetti's house egged after protesters marched there Saturday
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Hancock Park house was egged after protesters angry about the police shooting of a man in South Los Angeles demonstrated there Saturday night.
Protesters took to the streets after Los Angeles police shot and killed 18-year-old Carnell Snell Jr., who ran from officers following a vehicle pursuit. A gun was recovered at the scene.
Demonstrators first marched near the intersection of 108th Street and Western Avenue, interrupting a news conference and chalking Snell’s name in the street. Later in the evening, protesters marched to Garcetti’s home in Hancock Park and apparently threw eggs.
On Sunday morning, a carton of eggs was visible in the mayor’s driveway, and egg residue was visible on a gray Ford Fiesta parked out front as well as parts of the mayor’s home. City street services employees arrived later to hose down the house and water the lawn.
