Man To Be Arraigned In 27-Year-Old Pasadena Murder
PASADENA (CBSLA.com) — A 53-year-old will face a judge Wednesday in the 1988 shooting death of a man in Pasadena.
Albert Ahmad Clark was charged Dec. 9 with murder for the shooting of 39-year-old Leroy Galloway on Feb. 27, 1988.
Galloway was shot multiple times near Lake Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard and was taken to a hospital, where he died later.
Witnesses said they saw the gunman fleeing the area, and, based in part on the descriptions they provided, investigators eventually arrested Clark. But there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him because of the "limitations of forensics science at the time," police said.
Galloway's family had asked Pasadena police to review the case in 2013 and investigators were able to retrieve evidence that implicate Clark in the killing, officials said.
Clark was arrested Dec. 7 in Los Angeles and is being held on $2 million bail.
