A brother's hunch helps lead to an arrest in a Venice killing

As soon as Antonio Gonzalez heard that his younger brother was dead, he had a feeling that someone had hurt him.

Gonzalez, 54, got the call about 2 a.m. on a Sunday last month from a social worker from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She gave him the bad news, but didn't say how Jose Gonzalez, 51, had died on a Venice street. The woman told him to talk to the paramedics, who were treating it as an accident.

"I had a feeling that someone did something to him," Antonio said. "He was too happy, too healthy."

Jose had some problems in his life. In 1994, he was hit by a car and although his limbs were intact, he was left mentally slower and couldn't work. After the accident, the two brothers made a 1,600-mile pilgrimage to Jalisco, Mexico, to see the Virgin Mary, because it was a miracle that Jose survived, Antonio said.
