Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Shot and Killed

Auxiliary Bishop David O’Connell (“Bishop Dave”), 69, of Los Angeles died of a gunshot wound to the torso at 12:57 pm, Saturday, in a room of his home in the 1500 block of Janlu Avenue in Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles County.

The location where O’Connell was found is close to St John Vianney Parish where O’Connell was due to take part in a March 4 Eucharistic and Evangelisation event.

Police are investigating the shooting as a “suspicious death.” Interestingly, even before identifying a suspect, police said that there was no threat to the public.

O’Connell was Irish but spent 45 years of his life in Los Angeles. Francis promoted him as a bishop in 2015, presumably because he was primarily involved in social work.

Would that the act had been directed at Mahoney instead. The evil ones live forever, it seems.

@Bonnie Louise - So, was "Bishop Dave" a orthodox and traditional true CAtholic bishop, or just another VAtican II cheerleading robot of Pope Franci? Either way, may he rest in Peace, and I would not wish that on anyone. But I would not be surprised if it all comes out that his death had something to do with gay love affairs. I hope not....I pray not.....but I would not at all be surprised since he was a "Francis Bishop".

Was it due to hate crime?! 🤔

Possibly a robbery. Sadly, especially the type of people Vatican II, and especially Pope Francis bishops are......could be a killing involving gay sex.
