Herald on the Mississippi
In most instances, you will see photos of our readers in some usually remote city holding up a copy of the paper. Well, this week
it’s actually the Herald on rather than in. Here, local resident Seran Williams does the honors while crossing the Mississippi River
on the Algiers Ferry. After all, it’s better to be on the Mississippi than in it… •

Murder-Suicide at El Segundo
Recreation Park
On November 11 at approximately 11:20
p.m., El Segundo Police dispatch received
numerous calls of shots being fired within the
Recreation Park area (500 E. Pine Ave). Upon
arrival, officers discovered one male and one
female with apparent gunshot wounds. Both
individuals died at the scene.
Preliminary investigation revealed the male
suspect (Diego Lopez, 24 years old from Lake
Elsinore) and the female victim (Wendy Silva,
23 years old from Paramount), who were dating
for approximately one year, were involved
in a domestic dispute while inside of a 2003
Chevy Tahoe. As the vehicle was traveling
through the north parking area of Recreation
Park, the suspect produced a handgun and shot
the victim. The victim attempted to escape by
jumping out of the moving vehicle. According
to a witness, the suspect drove away from the
area but immediately circled back to where the
victim was laying. He exited the vehicle and
committed suicide with one gunshot to the head.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide
Bureau is conducting this investigation with
assistance from El Segundo Police detectives.
