At its meeting held July 1, 2008, the Board took the following action:

Supervisor Molina made the following statement:

"On Monday March 31, 2008, Arturo Saldana and Francisco Cereceres were shot execution style and killed while working at Jesse's Auto on the 5100 block of Olympic Boulevard in East Los Angeles. Mr. Saldana was 52, and is survived by his wife and six children; he had worked at Jesse's for ten years. Mr. Cereceres was 50, and is survived by his wife, and two children; he had worked at Jesse's for five years. Both of these men were hard working, innocent bystanders who were the victims of heinous, brutal acts of violence. These homicides shocked the East Los Angeles community, which has experienced a marked decrease in gun-related violence over the last several years. Anyone with information about this case is urged to immediately contact Detective Rick Garcia with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5568."
