LOS ANGELES — Nearly two weeks after her husband was dragged to his death after being carjacked by a suspect fleeing Los Angeles police, nothing makes sense to Gaynell Walker.
She can't understand why officers didn't move more quickly to arrest the suspect, who was sought in connection with two shootings, including a homicide in the West Valley. Had they done so, she says, they might have stopped the tragic chain of events that took Larry Walker's life.
Clutching a bevy of red, white and gold balloons, a group of family members, friends and colleagues gathered in a small parking lot near Los Angeles International Airport on Friday to mourn the 63-year-old father of three, while demanding to know why the Los Angeles Police Department hadn't apprehended the suspect before he attacked Walker and stole his car in South Los Angeles.
