Beyond90Seconds.com has obtained a mug shot and a jail booking sheet for a man named Pedro Espinoza who was arrested by the Culver City Police Department November 18, 2007.
Beyond90Seconds.com formally submitted a written request for this information with the city of Culver City on March 17. This request was made because Beyond90Seconds.com had learned from a source within law enforcement that the suspect in the Jamiel Shaw Jr. case had been previously arrested in Culver City. The Los Angeles Times had also reported that Shaw’s accused killer had served time for a November 18, 2007 arrest in which he was charged with exhibiting a firearm and resisting arrest.
According to a Los Angeles County Booking and Property Record obtained by Beyond90Seconds.com, Pedro Espinoza was initially charged with assault with a firearm when booked on November 18, 2007 at 3pm. His bail was set at $50,000.
According to the November booking sheet, Espinoza stands five-feet-5-inches tall and weighs 130-pounds. The booking sheet also states that Espinoza “declined” to provide the name of a person to contact in the event of an emergency.
At the time of his November arrest in Culver City, Espinoza was 18. However, his date of birth is redacted on the copy of the booking sheet provided to Beyond90Seconds.com.

Thank you for researching Espinoza’s criminal record. I have proposed “Jamiel’s Law” so we can deport gang members who are in the country illegally BEFORE they murder people, rather waiting until afterwards. For details, visit http://JamielsLaw.com.
You’re welcome, Mr. Moore. The Web site JamielsLaw.com is already provided in link form on this post (please see above) and elsewhere on Beyond90Seconds.com where I’ve posted additional stories about developments in the Jamiel Shaw Jr. case.
Thank you very much for visiting Beyond90Seconds.com and don’t hesitate to share your thoughts and insights here. They are certainly welcome here!

photos of Jamiel Shaw wearing red bandanas, with red hats, throwing up specific gang signs are all over myspace. Does anyone really want to know the truth without name calling? Just go to that myspace page of his and click on the friends. This guy was a banger.
he shouldn’t even have been on the streets. My prayers go out to the family of Jamiel Shaw. All gang bangers legal or illegal need to go to prison and stay there. What is wrong with people. And to the city officials of los angeles. You must convict this person and send a message to every gang banger out there that we are not going to tolerate this crap. Deport the rest of the illegal gangbangers that are still here and make sure this guy pays for his crime..
