Default Compton pursuit: 4 blacks killed in fiery crash

COMPTON, Calif. (KABC) -- A high-speed pursuit ended in a fiery
crash in Compton Saturday, killing four people, including an
innocent bystander.

It all stemmed from a shooting in the 100 block of East Indigo
Street. Witnesses told investigators the suspect's vehicle was a
red Pontiac sedan, possibly a Grand Prix.

At about 12:30 a.m., deputies spotted Grand Prix and conducted a
traffic stop. When the deputies stepped out of their patrol car,
the vehicle sped away.

Deputies chased the Grand Prix westbound on Greenleaf Boulevard.
The vehicle blew through a red light and struck a Chevrolet
Monte Carlo traveling northbound on Wilmington Avenue. That car
crashed into a power pole, trapping the female driver inside.
The victim, identified as 30-year-old Stacey Garcia Gray of Los
Angeles, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The force of the crash flipped the Pontiac, which crashed into
an iron gate and caught fire. Three people in the Grand Prix
were also pronounced dead at the scene. A coroner will need to
use dental records to officially identify the men, but family
members identified one of the men as 35-year-old Larry Gilmore.

"It sounded like something exploded," said Le Barron Yates, a
witness.

Authorities say the shooting, pursuit and crash remain under
investigation. If you have any information about this incident,
you're urged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department's Compton Station at (310) 605-6500 or Crime Stoppers
at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).
