No, I don't know any of the people involved, but for one I say good riddance to just another worthless POS ghetto rat burglar. I wish more citizens had the stones to stand up to, confront and whoop the schit out of trash like this guy. He got what he deserved, IMHO.
Unfortunately, this being Kalifornia (capital of the NewMerica Empire of Pu$$ies) there will likely be a lawsuit filed by the burglar's family and the victim(s) will be sued for everything they have making a bunch of lawyers richer and making the ex-burglar's family rich for a few months until they blow all the money on "bling" and similar stupid crap, then wonder why they're all still stuck in the ghetto. . .
Vigilante justice is still justice. I think these guys deserve medals for helping to make their community stronger, not an indictment or lawsuit, but that's just me. . .

SoCal authorities: Residents hit suspect who died
LONG BEACH, Calif.—An 18-year-old burglary suspect who died in the back seat of a police cruiser over the weekend had been struck in the head with a shotgun by residents who restrained him until officers arrived, authorities said.
Investigators on Tuesday still were trying to determine what killed Deshoun Keyon Torrence of Lake Elsinore.
Officers responding to a burglary call Saturday night found Torrence injured from his struggle with people at the apartment complex, Long Beach police spokeswoman Jackie Bezart said .
"A resident and neighbor used necessary force to restrain him before police arrived," said Ed Winter, chief of investigations for the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Based on initial information, Torrence was "struck by a shotgun butt by a resident and a neighbor," he said.
Torrence also struggled with police, Bezart said, but he was checked by paramedics before being put in the cruiser and was alert and coherent.
Shortly after paramedics left, officers found that Torrence was not breathing, Bezart said. Paramedics returned and pronounced him dead.
An autopsy has been scheduled.
