Teenage murderer who was sentenced to kid gloves for a double murder is charged with a new killing

A Los Angeles gang member who served less than four years in prison after being convicted of a double murder as a teenager is now back in custody and charged with a new murder.

Shanice Dyer, a member of the East Coast Crips, was treated with kid gloves after prosecutors decided to charge her as a juvenile in the 2019 murders of two innocent men because she was only 17 at the time, Fox News reported. Daughter KTTV-TV News.

Last week, Dyer, 22, and two other gangsters were charged in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Joshua Streeter in Pomona – sparking renewed criticism of embattled Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon.

Gascon has repeatedly come under fire for his soft-spoken reputation on crime, surviving two separate recall attempts since the progressive prosecutor took office in 2020.

“The Gascón reform was aimed at rehabilitating people and giving them a second chance, but since the incident no one has cared about the victims,” complained Cynthia Carrera, whose brother Alfredo was killed by Dyer in 2019.

“Nobody has ever asked, 'What can we do for you?'”

Alfredo Carrera, then an expectant father, and his pal Jose Flores Velazquez, who had just gotten a job at NASA, were shot simply because they were on gang territory, the outlet reported.

Dyer was arrested and charged, but Gascon's office chose to try her as a juvenile – meaning her conviction only put her behind bars for less than four years.

Back on the street, the gangbanger and two others were charged last week with shooting Streeter in the back, fatally wounding him, KTTV said.

“George Gascon refused to accept responsibility for the fact that his policies led to this murder,” victim advocate Kathy Cady, a former L.A. County deputy district attorney, told the outlet. He hides behind explanations that make no sense.”

Another rebuke came from the LA Association of Deputy District Attorneys, the Daily Mail reported.

“Dyer, who should have been jailed for life, was free thanks to Gascon policies,” the group said in a statement. “And now another family is grieving the loss of their loved one.”

In an email to The Post on Monday, a Gascon spokesman defended the earlier decision and said prosecutors were required under California law to try Dyer as a minor.

According to Gascon's office, the law requires five factors for a minor's case to be transferred to adult court, and Dyer met only one of the criteria – the seriousness of the crime.

“Our hearts break for the victim and his family,” the statement said. “This is an unimaginable tragedy. However, it is highly unlikely that Ms Dyer would have been transferred under any administration.”

They said the office has transferred 23 juvenile cases to adult court since March 2022.
