LONG BEACH (CBSLA) – A man has been arrested on murder charges, suspected of brutally beating a 63-year-old woman to death using a scooter in Long Beach Monday afternoon.
Amad Rashad Redding, 27, was captured a little over four hours after the killing of Rosa Elena Hernandez, Long Beach police reported Tuesday.
Story continues below advertisementSurveillance video of the suspect.
At about 12:30 p.m. Monday, Hernandez was walking home from visiting a relative when a man ran up and began assaulting her in the 3100 block of East 64th Street. When a bystander tried to intervene, the suspect grabbed a Bird electrical rental scooter and used it to continue beating Hernandez, police said.
Officers responded to find Hernandez with significant injuries to her upper torso. She died at the scene.
A neighbor told CBS2 that the attack was captured on securityvideo.
“They (police) saw him socking on her, pushed her down, kicking on her, and then she fell down,” neighbor Robin Fagan said Monday. “And then he went and got the scooter and started beating her on the head with the scooter.”
The suspect, described by witnesses as a black man with facial hair, was last seen running west on 64th Street. At about 5 p.m., Redding was arrested at a nearby convenience store in the area of Downey Avenue and Artesia Boulevard, about a half-mile from the killing.

There is no word on a motive in the attack, or whether the suspect knew Hernandez prior to assaulting her. One woman told CBS2 that she’s seen the suspect in the area before.
“I’ve seen him, he walks around, I’ve seen him walk around a few times by our house actually,” Misty Velasco said.
Hernandez had lived in the neighborhood for about 40 years.
“She knew everybody in the community, she would walk around, talk to all the Latinas and Latinos who lived in the neighborhood,” neighbor Dennis Fitzgerald told CBS2 Tuesday. “She was very friendly with everybody, everybody knew her. She did not drive, so she just walked every place.”
Redding is being held in the Long Beach City Jail on $2 million bail.

The media, as usual, hid that Amad Rashad Redding was a Muslim.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t know her and she was simply a vulnerable person at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Felix, I hope you are well. The media deflects the truth when it comes to Muslim crime or terror; the media, as you said, prides itself of its censorship, but has no issues when attacking patriotic Americans, Trump or others not of their politics or godless agenda.

African-Americans may like Islam. But they do not necessarily represent true Africans, and many people in Africa such as Kenyans and Nigerians despise it, because of Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, and all the other fanatics there.

Don’t tell a Muslim that Islam is not a religion. They’ll flip out on you! We know how bogus it is but they take it very seriously and many of them are more than willing to die defending it but better yet kill you or anyone else if they can. I’m sure you know this though right?

North Long Beach hasn’t been a safe place for decades, but it’s interesting that this doesn’t sound like a robbery or mugging.

And L.A. County still refuses to issue conceal carry permits to law-abiding citizens. We can only wonder if that bystander was armed, how differently this might have turned out.

Do you remember about 15 years ago there was a news story about an LAPD officer who was raping strippers (as in plural) under the colour of authority? That new story disappeared faster than constitutional rights from Dearbornistan, Michigan.

I do not remember that one, specifically. Unfortunately, there were a number of LAPD cases that involved abuse under color of authority. Raphael Perez, being one of the biggest of their scandals.

2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them…”
9:5: “Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.”
9:123: “O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.”
47:4: “When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads.”

And here we have the murder starting big time in our country without anyone talking about the elephant standing in the MIDDLE of the room, Islam. Yes, that peaceful group of savages that spend their time killing Jews, Christians or anyone else that doesn’t bow to their idiotic ideas.

Apparently they are talking about it. Two different American schools have been reported as teaching their students that they should speak “Ramadan blessings” to the Muslims students at the school. I think the schools might have been in the same district.
God help you if you should mention Jesus in the school.

Poor lady. Why did he kill her? Jealousy and hate.
Premeditated murder and he deserves the death penalty. Not in twenty years but in one to two years.
I wish he could know what it feels like to be beaten like that.

The Jews in Biblical times did not have jails. When sentence was pronounced, it was carried out immediately. If the crime was murder, the victim was bound to the perpetrator face to face and they were left that way until the perpetrator died.

This perverse murderer had to be consumed by hatred for a long time to do such an inhuman act. I hope next week we don’t hear from the family about what a really nice guy he is, and how he would never do such a thing.

I saw this heinous story on the local news; there was no mention that the murderer was a Muslim. Not that it surprised me, as this local station is like all the MSM news providers. Censorship is rife when it comes to Islam, the Cult of Death.
Now, Francis, a disciple of Satan/Allah chose to motor about with several Muslimmigrant children onboard the Pope-Mobile; the MSM, of course, went orgasmic over this story.
